Protection

It is said that only the person (s) who wears the shoes knows where it pinches or hurts. Until we wear the shoes, we never would be able to tell where it hurts. This is why the role of understanding cannot be overemphasized. It makes you assume the role of the next person while walking in your shoes. This in the end helps to get rid of mere feelings for the appropriate attitude.

Protection is the activity of shielding someone or something against harm or discomfort. It's a simple equation, and this is how I solve it: whatever it is that you have under your care, if it's genuinely yours, you would do all you can within your powers to protect it. This very act when carried out, is seen as a high level of responsibility. Suffice it to say that this is how winners attitude should be.

To effectively protect what belongs to me, I must know my boundaries (territories), possessions, acquisitions..., as well as my limitations. This enables me to know what line of action to take in any situation I find myself. Let's be very realistic here! No two persons are the same. The way I would handle a particular situation or challenge may be different from the way you may handle yours. In other words, my approach may be different from yours. This is because I have my pace, you have your pace. This is what makes us different people. So trying to force people into what they are reluctant to doing or expecting me to do it the way others want me to, is being unrealistic.

What is realistic then? This is when I am allowed to make choices I feel would make me better, being guided by people who genuinely love me, and not the ones who pay lip service, and yet are not willing to take responsibility for me.

Protection is not just in mere words. It's all encompassing, as it cuts across all works of life. Protection does not in any ways suggest a state of being domineering or overprotective. It is an act of guiding and shielding from harm while allowing such person (s) to be free. Protection teaches on how to shield what you value most without tampering with your freedom. Where freedom is missen in protection, then it is only tending to being overprotective.

It is in place to always protect what rightfully belongs to you. However, in all that you protect, don't forget to protect your tongue as well as your heart. #Shielding #Understanding #Responsibilities #Guidance #Freedom #Protection.
