“I AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.” SHOULD BE STRICKEN FROM OUR VOCABULARY. YOUR HOPES, BELIEFS, DREAMS AND EXPECTATIONS OF THAT PERSON HAVE NOT BEEN MET. YOUR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS WHAT TRULY MATTERS. SAY THIS, SHOW THIS, BELIEVE THIS. THEN, WITNESS THE TRANSFORMATION IN YOU AND IN THE OTHER.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF BEING ON THE RECEIVING END OF INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL PAIN (physical, emotional, spiritual/existential, relationship, financial) IS THAT IT IS TRANSFORMATIONAL. OUR PAIN FORCES US TO THINK DIFFERENTLY, TO EMPATHIZE MORE READILY, AND TO PUSH US TOWARD EFFECTING AND ACCEPTING CHANGE. Date September 19, 2021 In relation to acceptance WHAT IS YOUR TRUE MOTIVATION TO HELP? IT MIGHT SEEM AN OPPORTUNE TIME TO PASS ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCES, AND VALUES. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE, UNDERSTAND, AND RECEIVE, SO THAT YOU, IN HELPING, MAY BE TRANSFORMED? Date May 21, 2021 In relation to giving of yourself WE CANNOT READ ENOUGH, WATCH ENOUGH, LISTEN ENOUGH, ASK ENOUGH, OR KNOW ENOUGH BEFORE TRYING SOMETHING NOVEL. THERE WILL BE SO MANY VARIABLES, NUANCES, SURPRISES, TWISTS AND TURNS THAT WE CANNOT BE FULLY PREPARED FOR AND TOTALLY COMFORTABLE WITH, OUR FACING THE UNKNOWN.
