The Good Guy and Bad Guy Chairs

Yesterday we talked about how judgement steals our true identity because we become what we judge.

When we judge, we put ourselves in the Good Guy Chair, and we put the other person in the Bad Guy Chair. The trick to getting judgement out of our lives and getting our true identity back is to get out of the Good Guy Chair. But that means releasing the other person from the Bad Guy Chair.

There's another reason we want out of that Good Guy chair as fast as possible. It has another name, a secret name. A name that if we realized it, we would never have climbed up in there to begin with.

The Good Guy Chair is really the Victim Chair. And unless we release the other person from the Bad Guy Chair, we will be stuck in a life of victimization. Who wants to be a victim? Not me, and I'll bet not you.
