Ever been blocked by someone you trust and even love? I have. More times than I can count. Still hurts. A great client was the first to give me the Heisman. His business was under attack. Seemingly no way out, you know. Helped him sell it for 15mm. No joke, right. As soon as it sold he stopped taking my calls. Didn't pay his last two months BTL invoices. I've tried to contact him over the years. Nothing. Damn.
Another dude I trusted with my financial life. Ripped me off big time. Took a hot minute to forgive this one. Realized hanging onto hate was harming me. Dropped the freakin' backpack of rocks. Forgave him. Tried to contact. Blocked. I could go on, I'll stop.
You will be wronged by those you let into your heart. You will wrong those who let you into theirs. Fact. Rarely will you be understood or understand. Here's what I've learned over sixty four years of betrayal and being blocked. You don't know the story, not even the half of it. You think you see reality clearly. Hell, none of us does truth be told. So next time you jam or get jammed, remember this truth - you don't know the shitstorm your friend is in. Give 'em a break instead of a block. Who knows, you just might be the one filling (slang) better. Damn.
Live hard. Love harder…
