Subtitle: How Forgiveness Forges the Path to Wholeness
Blame On vs. Game On
- Blame On: Holding others responsible for our pain, replaying past hurts, and seeking revenge or compensation.
- Game On: Accepting responsibility, forgiving (even intentional harm), and moving forward with clarity and purpose.
The Cost of Unforgiveness
- Blame is easy, but it keeps us stuck.
- Not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to suffer.
- Emotional stagnation affects personal and professional growth.
My Journey: From Stagnation to Action
- Transitioned from a state job to a nonprofit mental health center in 2017.
- Excitement turned to struggle—new program, shifting professional views, and team dynamics.
- Conflict arose when my vision clashed with my supervisor’s, causing stress and misalignment.
When Your Vision Clashes with Leadership
If you're experiencing a conflict between your mission and your supervisor’s expectations:
- Clarify the mission – Compare your understanding with official statements.
- Communicate openly – Have a formal/informal discussion to align expectations.
- Create an action plan – Identify steps to promote mission clarity in your team.
- Engage leadership – Determine how to support the broader organizational goals.
What If Your Values Are in Conflict?
- Ask yourself: Is it a misunderstanding, or a fundamental values misalignment?
- Seek clarity through honest conversations.
- Consider discussing the issue with higher leadership—but weigh potential repercussions.
- A life coach can help you explore options and develop an actionable path forward.
Moving From Blame to Action
- Blame keeps you powerless; taking ownership creates momentum.
- Coaches ask tough questions, provide accountability, and help you build a concrete plan.
- Inaction is still a choice—with consequences.
