Setting things straight

Dear Brain,

As you know, you are a trusted and valued member of my team. I appreciate your insights, analysis and problem-solving abilities.

Lately, however, it's become clear to me that you have been shouting down other members of my team, notably my Heart. This will not stand. I need ALL my team, each with their own unique gifts, without which we will all founder.

I accept my part in this. I thought you were me. That, also, is over. I am me. You work for me.


So my old friend, as always, when your particular set of gifts contain the correct tools – and that IS often, granted; the world IS oh-so-busy – I will call on you, and we will work together. But know this:

It will not be as it was. I am the Boss.

With Love,
Until I call on you,
Sit Down and...
Shut.
Up.
