Because Is Dangerous & How To Quit Having To Justify Your Decisions

Because Is Dangerous & How To Quit Having To Justify Your Decisions

In this episode I’m going to enlighten you to another cultural illness we have. It’s explaining our decisions and actions to get other’s affirmations and validations. We want everyone’s approval and we spend copious amounts of time explaining ourselves and encountering anxiety about having our friend’s, family’s and the world’s blessings about everything we decide to do. And you may often be asked by others why we did something or are doing something or even why we like or dislike something. And we follow with, “Because…” and our explanation. We seek to justify all we do to others. In the last episode I discussed the toxic nature of doing things we feel we “should” do. I’m putting “because” in the same category. Now this isn’t a rebellious message to give everyone the finger and do as you darn well please and not seek wisdom and counsel. But the fact you are here and listening says you seek wisdom and counsel. You have to be accountable to yourself for what you decide to do and the actions you take in life, and trust you are seeking counsel and wisdom. But then you choose to do what you’ll do and I’m cautioning you to consider the need to explain yourself. That’s the show. Got a comment or question about an episode?
