WorldWide Drilling Resource

25 OCTOBER 2022 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Be Yourself by Tim Connor We live in a different world since the past few years and, in many ways, it may become the new normal if we are not vigilant. Everyone is unique. Everyone has opinions. Everyone can be wiser and everyone can be so much more, but who we become is up to each of us - not the world around us. I have had many people in my life who have tried to shape me into something they believed was a better me, but in the end, maybe they should have looked in the mirror at their behavior before they tried to change mine. According to M. Ruiz in his book The Four Agreements, we are all perfect, but let me define what I believe he means by perfect. We all can be smarter, better, nicer, and so much more as this list of traits is endless, but does it mean if we don’t get better in some way, we are flawed or bad humans? As you are well aware, I spend a lot of time on the meaning and definition of words we all use to define life, others, etc. So, what is flawed? Is it bad, imperfect, weak, or one of many other traits? I believe we all are both perfect and imperfect at the same time, meaning that yes, we can get better in some way. If we don’t, this doesn’t imply we are bad in some way. No matter how much you learn and grow, you can always be more. Do you spend time, energy, and whatever fretting over what or who you are not?
