I was trapped by a question I did not know I had. Has this ever happened to you? Imagine a conversation with someone at work or in your personal life. You say something, they say something and something that they say or perhaps do, sticks with you or even on you. This happened to me. The way it happened was through an action, not words, but words did follow it. Then there was a cover up, and it left me puzzled for a long time.
What I wondered was who am I that someone would do this to and take this action? And then, who am I that someone would then lie about it? These were the questions that I did not know I had until recently. Discovering that these questions were imbedded in my mind gave me freedom to let them go. It is kind of like finding words or events stuck in amber, fossilized, never to be released except through great heat.
So how did I release the questions? Where did the heat come from? The inquiry provided the heat and I have a drive to understand which makes me a great researcher, communicator and consultant, but those skills and that drive trapped me in having to know/understand. Ultimately I did get to the bottom of this issue and am on the lookout for what else I am trapped by. What are you trapped by? What gets under your skin?
