How to know if you are getting the right training.

In a very strange place, I had a thought about what it means to train and tame. Both are meant to shape and change the instinctive behaviors of a creature. In that strange place (actually, it was when I was mopping the bathroom), I paused and thought about it well, I tried to analyze it and I came to the conclusion that there is a reason why dogs are trained and lions are tamed.

There is a possibility that you are in a place where you were told you are being trained, when in reality what is happening is not training at all. You are told not to think but to act on what you are told, and when something goes wrong, you are asked, “don’t you think?”

It can be a really frustrating place to be. When you try to rebel, your colleagues, friends, family and sometimes, your spouse will tell you to understand that you are undergoing a training. Something tells you that this isn’t training because you are losing yourself. The self that the world is waiting to see manifest. But how can you tell the difference?

Think about it this way, when someone is being trained, the person is being refined in a manner that helps them succeed, in a manner that helps them unleash their potential for their own good and for the good of those around them. You are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. You are given chances to succeed because there is that belief that you will succeed. You grow in wisdom and confidence. You look forward to taking on responsibilities and becoming better.

When that person is being tamed, what makes them excel is taken away. They lose confidence and they cannot see themselves succeeding without the one who tamed them. There is a mental barrier in place to restrict your will to be more than what you have been told to be. That someone is stripped of what brings them respect and helps them survive.

You are tamed for the good of those who have tamed you. You are moved by instructions without the use of your own intuition. If you go outside of what you have been told to do, you will be forcefully brought in line or you will be kicked out. Your ideas do not matter, just act on what you have been told. Stay long enough in this space and you won’t be able to recognize yourself. You will always fill drained ( side-note: feeling drained is not exclusive to those that are tamed).

This should help you under whether or not you are being trained; better, you will know if you are taming someone or actually training them. You were created to unleash your greatness and be of service to the world in a way that gives glory to the creator. Anything that is not helping you do this is not helping you at all. Wow, a lot can come out of mopping the bathroom.
