A small glimpse in to What Scotty K can do with a Crowd.
SPECIAL K MIX #35 (UPTEMPO POP) by SpecialKMUSIC
Everyday I am impressed with my son, he is a brilliant, polite, inquisitive, joyful, loving and therapeutic addition to this world. We (his mom and I) are complimented on his manners, listening, compassion, and what most people sum up as just a sweet little boy on a consistent basis. While it sounds like I’m just bragging about my kid, well … I am a little, but there is much more to parenthood (as most you know) then the good times.
I truly believe that we are doing something right by surrounding him with the right people, environment, and values that all play a part in being “a good kid”. The struggle I have found my self in is disciplining “a good kid”.
I will recognize all day long how loving, attentive, respectful and just an all around good listener my son has been, and be so proud that it turns in to a form of my own rationalization. Kids are kids when it comes down to it and I know consistent discipline is necessary, but I find my self saying “WELL YOU’VE BEEN SO GOOD, SO I’LL LET IT SLIDE”. The thing that I let slide could be as simple as not putting his toys away, not listening while jumping on the couch, or throwing a fit because he isn’t ready for bed.
The bottom line is, that “Hall pass” rationalization can snowball VERY quickly, and change their “good kid” persona to an “I can get away with stuff” attitude.
HOW DOES THAT RELATE TO US AS ADULTS?
Think about yourself at work, have you been there for a long time, do consistent work over and over, in other words, are you comfortable? Now how many times have you caught yourself saying something like “I did a great job last time, lets just knock this out”. YOU START TO RATIONALIZE MEDIOCRITY . You find a way to logically justify your actions in a rational or logical manner in order to avoid any true explanation, AND make them consciously tolerable. Which is basically the definition of rationalization.
We do it all the time … “Oh I ate well yesterday, this cake won’t hurt” “I went to the gym last week, I’ll sleep in” there are millions of examples that we could find in ourselves, but we’d rather not.
We continue to give our selves these “HALL PASSES” until we are forced to hit the RESET BUTTON. That reset button might be 20lbs, might be losing your job, might be hearing that people’s perception of you isn’t based on what you know you have done in the past, Its what they see NOW.
As a live entertainer I was always told “You Are Only As Good As Your Last Event”. In radio they say “You Are Only As Good As Your Last Break” etc … What if we applied that to something like … “You Are Only As Nice Of A Person, As How Nice You Were To The Last Person” … “You Are Only As Compassionate, As The Last Time You Showed You Cared"
Now of course we can not all go 200% all the time, but we need to really look at the reasons behind our actions and own them. If you take the easy road on something just to get by, OWN why you did it, don’t rationalize it because you did it well LAST TIME.
Sometimes rationalization occurs when we think we know ourselves better than we do. Find the thing (s) in you that you want people to know you are/have … Then BE THAT.
