Now waiting to respond is not always easy and we've learned that it's going to require patience and oftentimes generators will fear that nothing will happen if they just sit back and wait to respond. So, what happens then they get tempted they get tempted to go out there and to initiate. So the not self generator is the generator who goes out there and tries to initiate action tries to force outcomes and tries to make things happen. When did not self generator does this the not self generator is going to experience the not self the emotion of frustration. I'd like to share with you now a story about a generator who was being her not self but then found her way to follow her type and strategy. And let me tell you the story.
Story relates to my daughter. She was at one time in her life a stressed out project manager workaholic. When she decided to resign from corporate america and resigned from this position, she decided she would just take several months off to find her way back to being centered and balanced. The first couple of months were great, but by the third month, she started to get antsy. He started to get anxious, what's going to be her next adventure? Where is she going with her life after this?
So what did she do? She went up in her head, and when she went in her head and tried to figure it all out, all she became was more and more frustrated, more and more anxious, and feel and she felt stuck. I reminded her to please follow her strategy and wait to respond. Just sit back, relax, be patient and just wait to see what shows up. Now this is not necessarily easy to do require A lot of patience, a lot of faith and a lot of trust. She said, Okay, I'm going to do my best mom to live my strategy.
I invited her to come and spend some time with me. So she came to spend some time with me. I happen to be teaching classes at a Lifelong Learning Institute. She attended one of my classes. After the class, I introduced her to the director of the lifelong Institute. And lo and behold, they got engaged in a conversation.
And the conversation came up to where the director asked her if she would be interested in also teaching at this lifelong Institute. So she got the opportunity to teach both massage therapy and yoga, both things that she's passionate about at the Lifelong Learning Institute by simply waiting to respond
