At cross fit yesterday, we had to name what super hero we would want to be. Yoda has been mine for decades.

His few quotes of wisdom, actually create a foundation of joy if applied with vigor. He also tells it like it is, which I’ve been known to do. He can be trusted, because he is not a fallible human. We are about the same height, according to my friends. Lastly, he is easy to underestimate. We all know what happens there.

Besides the obvious for self, what about unlearning what we think we know, about others? I used to think I had people so mapped out, that my thinking mind was like they say this, and I will say that, and then this will happen.

Maybe I was right sometimes or even frequently. However, my rightness kept relationships stuck in patterns. Anyone who gets this, knows how much those circuitous patterns suck! It’s so predictable; here we go again.

So pretend like you don’t know someone, and they don’t know you. Do something different in how you respond, and be willing to let go of what you think you know about the other person, and how they will respond.

You may learn something new. Don’t worry we can always go back to being right!
