Welcome everyone to the 33rd episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is NECESSARY ENDINGS, brings NEW BEGINNINGS #truthbetold
I am currently listening to a book by Dr. Henry Cloud titled Necessary Endings. The book is so amazing and is my inspiration for this episode. Dr. Henry Cloud is a clinical psychologist. In this book, Necessary Endings, the premise is endings are a normal part of life. Endings matter and are present in all areas of our lives. Learning to recognize endings is critical. Endings are a necessity for life to thrive in areas of existence.
Dr. Cloud offers a mixture of advice and case studies to help readers. He discusses things like pruning, distorted hope and realistic hope, the importance of knowing when to hold on and when to allow a necessary ending to take place.
According to Dr. Cloud, today may be the enemy of your tomorrow. In your business and perhaps your life, the tomorrow that you desire and envision may never come to pass if you do not end some things, you are doing today.
Getting to the next level always requires ending something, leaving it behind, and moving on. Growth itself demands that we move on. Without the ability to end things, people stay stuck, never becoming who they are meant to be, never accomplishing all that their talents and abilities should afford them.
To those who don’t understand how seeds work, it can look like destruction the process the seed must endure. It literally cracks itself open to allow the sprout to appear which then grows and leaves the shell behind. The necessary ending to the seed is the new beginnings of the plant that holds life in it.
Pruning in our lives is so important. It is strategic. I had the blessing of living on a vineyard for close to 10 years. Each year I would watch as the farmers would cut back the beautiful, lush growth of the season. The pruning was so intense. There was nothing left but the bareness of the vine. But then each year like clockwork a lusher vineyard appeared. This is the cycle of life that we do not take advantage of enough. What in your life do you need to cut off? Do you need God to help you? Let Him cut you I say. I am a living, walking, testament to the goodness of His pruning.
If the vine had held on to the lushness of one season it would have been stuck in that season. I don’t care how much hope it had in a new season; it would not have worked. That is what a distorted hope looks like. Many of us have distorted hope when it comes to relationships. We don’t understand the importance of one’s character.
Dr. Cloud goes in depth into false hope and what real hope looks like. He explains, for hope we need a satellite. One that will give you the most accurate predictions is the ability to diagnose character. Once you learn the character traits that give real reason to hope that tomorrow can be different, you can know better whom you want to invite into your tomorrow. You can know that there is a real reason to go forward.
He goes on to explain there are basically three types of people in the world, or better, three styles of behavior that a person can exhibit in a particular time or context.
1. Wise people 2. Foolish people 3. Evil people.
The person who ultimately does well is the one who can learn from his own experience or the experience of others, make that learning a part of himself, and then deliver results from that experience base.
Which brings us to the key to the wise person: When truth presents itself, the wise person sees the light, takes it in, and adjusts. The mature person meets the demands of life, while the immature person demands that life meets their demands. And that is the problem with the fool. Whereas the chief descriptor of the wise person is that when the light shows up, he looks at it, receives it, joins it, and adjusts his behavior to align with the light, the fool does the opposite: he rejects the feedback, resi
