AS BILL SEES IT, Question 14a

Why is it as important not to push a person before they are ready?

I've learned through experience, my own and watching others, that some can't be pushed and the one's that can, may not get it or fail because of it.

In my bull-headedness, nobody could tell me what to do - I had to want to do it.  Generally, my actions got me "backed into a corner" and I would come out kicking and screaming, ultimately asking for help when I was in enough pain.   This was my path to willingness.  I had to get there on my terms.

It's also how I was able to reach out to God (HP).  I had to be very desperate - and I had to be the one that put me there.  It was important that I not have any excuses or anyone else to blame.  It had to really be all about me - I had to be broken with no place else to go.

Then I was ready.
