Adults haha

I think I will type in the color I feel everyday. Guess what I am feeling? I had this great workshop at work yesterday on win win negotiations. The man was awesome and I learned alot. My favorite quote of his was "everybody isn't out to get me they are out for themselves I just get in the way sometimes". Yep!! Also what are the two main motivators in life? There are only 2 main ones the rest are secondary. Did you guess pain and pleasure? I didn't. But it's so true. And it doesn't nessicarily motivate you in a positive way it can motivate you in a negative way but either way your still motivated. I see people in my life that I thought were not motivated, miserable and won't do anything to change it but if you look at it they are highly motivated people. Ouch my brain hurts I haven't thought that much in years. People automatically think situations,occurances or events lead directly to an emotional response. Not so if you really think about it. This model the speaker showed us shows that an event, situation or circumstance leads to my interpurtation of the event,situation or circumstance. My thinking either consicous or more likely unconsicous about said event or circumstance. Through responsiblity comes freedom, my freedom to determine my own emotional state. You may ask what does that mean. It comes down to the common sense statement that I am in control of my emotions and no one can make me feel any way I don't want to feel. I wish I could just snap my fingers and undo all the behaviors I have learned over the past 45 years that contridict this statement and replace them with that statement. Why is it when we have a revelation or what ever you what to call it instead of saying yeah lets change that now we in stead are so comfy in the poop that it does the opposite we withdraw and don't want to look at it because then our life looks even more poopy. And don't even get me started on emotions. I sometime and lets not lie most times like being around children then adults because the adults are bigger babys then the kids in the emotion department. I am in a situation where I deal with some emotional adults. I am sometimes one of those adults especially when it involes my kids. How do you deal with an "adult" like that. I am hoping that this training I recieved yesterday will help me to be a better negotiator when dealing with these adults in the future and if not the workbook will make a great coaster.
I love my family warts and all just dont expect me to share those warts anymore.
