Wise One or Wise Ones?

This exercise is going to take more than just one setting to achieve the focus on one individual. This is more of an exercise when you have honed your meditation skills. I never could focus on one “wise one” due to the fact there were so many people who have helped me become who I am. So the first and last face I saw was my mothers who have taught me kindness and understanding toward others regardless of race sex or ethical back grounds. She gave me a solid foundation to stand on which brings me to the second face that came into focus was an old neighbor of ours when I was around 10 to 13 he taught me the beginning stages of what it means to be a man, my mother was great and all but she was limited when it can to things of man hood. Once I got my first job there was a man who taught me that in business your word was everything, make money but don’t let that me the only important part of business. To be professional and honest with your clients, this exercise did help remind me of some of the foundations and the people I haven’t thought about in years. It made me wonder in their eyes would they be pleased with the man I have become.

            With the saying “One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” kind of explains it self I cannot guide anyone to places or experiences I haven’t done myself.  How can a person be a true testament of an experience if they have never experienced it at all? Within profession you owe it to your clients to have the most hands on experience as possible if not for creditability at least for the fact that you would know how they would feel experiencing something for the first time. So you could at least talked them threw it. For example I just recently took my 10 year old daughter hunting for the first time, I explained what the gun would feel like before she even saw, touched it or shot it. Just so she would know what to expect. There will still be some surprise to her but it will be an expected surprise. Now we got shooting the rifle out of the way and she comfortable with it. Then I explained how she was going to feel as soon as a deer stepped out in front of her. That her heart would pound so loud that you would swear that the deer could hear. That her breathing would speed up like she running and her hands would become clammy and with all that going on she would remember to aim take a deep breath and lightly squeeze the trigger. Now if I hadn’t experienced that same excitement she wouldn’t know what to expect or maybe not wanted to hunt at all. So yes I think in any professor it’s our duty to gain as much experience as possible to help client be successful.
