The bossy don\u2019t want that, so they always look for new victims. Bossiness is control addiction, but that control <em>always<\/em> slips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Bossy people act like \u201cThe Boss.\u201d But a true boss, as in the phrase, \u201clike a boss,\u201d is one who trusts. You see, a true boss is nothing but an innocent, naked child who prioritizes play and generosity, not urgency or demand. He doesn\u2019t try to control. He leads by example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Everything will be stripped from \u201cthe bossy.\u201d The proud fall. I certainly did. Over the years of being \u201cThe Boss,\u201d as in a bossy control freak, I grew weary of how hard it was &#8220;keeping people.&#8221; I wanted to advance in life, but I never understood I needed to drop the \u201cboss act\u201d and find the humble truth buried within. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I am The Boss, but I can\u2019t boss people around. A Real Boss isn\u2019t a \u201cTop Dog\u201d that we often envision. It\u2019s realizing the inner child within you. True nature is tender and soft and always up for a good time. He dribbles and laughs, not knowing the future either. He plays and enjoys like a boss. He doesn\u2019t play the bossy-type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Being promoted is a prioritization of love and play, tenderness and joy. Love advances the needle, easily knocking down those who <em>act <\/em>bossy. Real promotion floats endlessly. The bossy bulldoze and fall, hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Who\u2019s the <em>Real Boss<\/em>? Those who act bossy or those who trust, play, love, enjoy, and give frivolously?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, April 18, 2026 To be bossy, one must learn how to torture.
