Magic Assassins

Everyone has some magic. That magic can come in the form of positivity, creativity, sharing knowledge, being nice, kindness, empathy knowledge sharing, constructive honesty. What is downright sad and disappointing in that during this time people are investing a lot energy in killing the positive people, positive sayings, and positive energy in the name of having others join their misery.

You are probably a magic assassin if someone asks, “How are you?” and your immediate response is negative and expect the person you asked to join in your negativity and wallow. This only makes things worse not better.

You are probably a magic assassin if someone is trying to share several years of experience (in whatever topic it is) and you immediately think that person is trying to take something from you (or your title). Truth is they are not they are just shring to help you learn.

You are probably a magic assassin if you think you know better (about anything), remember there is always somebody bigger, better and more bad ass than you. Whether you have met them or not is irrelevant.

You are probably a magic assassin if you think you can dictate who is politically aware or not. It is not your job to tell someone how politically unaware they are vs how politically aware you are. Either have a conversation and help them grow or leave them alone.

You are probably a magic assassin if you think that you know better because you live in an area that is “more political” than the rest of the nation. Every place has a history you do not know, and unless you know that in depth, where you live does not make you more politically aware. It also does mean you can judge other places.

You are probably a magic assassin if you resent another person because you are the same age and they have gotten a lot farther than you. Everyone has a story and they have paid their dues to get where they are at. Do not resent them, learn from them. Humble yourself.

You are probably a magic assassin if you make a choice to not work out a conflict with someone directly and instead go to someone else to handle that for you. This happens in the workplace and in personal lives. Grow up and talk it out with that person directly.

You are probably a magic assassin if you cannot count at least five good things at any given time in moment in the day and dislike/hate that other people do.

You are probably a magic assassin if you have your identity wrapped up in your title. Life if more than a title. Titles come and go, who are you without it?

You are probably a magic assassin if you complain about all the material things/perks you do not have access to. Nothing lasts forever enjoy the good while you have it and when you do not have it; take the time to learn and grow from not having it.

You are probably a magic assassin if you question the authenticity of someone because they do not sound, the way you want them to or they way you think they should sound.

You are probably a magic assassin if you try to get people to make things easier for you or worse yet have it done for you. Everything worth having takes hard work and effort in life and in your professional life. Accept that now and things will be a lot easier.

Now you must decide are you a magic assassin or a conductor of magic.
