Know, Not Know
I don’t know,
so I suck.
I know,
so I rock.
I don’t know,
so I create.
First When and Where
“Something important happened!”
she said.
“Can I get back to you?
I’m in the middle of something.”
I answered.
“Oh, yeah.
It can wait.”
she answered.
…
“Something important happened!”
she said.
“Can I get back to you?
I’m in the middle of something.”
I answered.
“No, it’s urgent!”
she answered.
“Oh, ok.
Can you hold just a minute
I’ll excuse myself
and go to another room.”

Re-
What is an unrealistic
expectation?
People who never
cheat
make mistakes
betray
All of the above
are part
of the human
condition.
But so is
foregiveness
recover
Dangers of Compassion
The ills of the world
may be easier to handle
were they manifestations
of mere malicious intentions.
What make is complex
is that most
are inspired by compassion
Conform or Rebel
When people judge us
as “empathic,”
as “nice,”
as “smart,”
etc.
We tend to conform
or rebel.
Conform
as in believing that we are.
Rebel
as in “No, I’m not.”
May we learn the choice
to simply understand
and appreciate.
Rejection
What cold outreach taught me
was that what people are doing
is not rejecting me.
What they are doing
is saying things to me.
It is I who choose
to interpret their words
as rejection
or as something else.
From their perspective,
they may be feeling misunderstood
take advantage of, etc…
Listening
Some psychologists
claim they know
how to listen.
Perhaps.
But I learned to listen
not from psychologists,
but from artists.
Craftsmen
listening to their materials
Actors
listening to
Musicians.
If one thinks
they know how to listen
as psychologists do,
we are missing so much of it.

Respecting vs Expecting – Part 2
If to respect,
is to see
anew,
expect is to see
as formerly seen.
When we respect someone,
we don’t blame them
for not doing what we wanted them to do
we remind them
that they did not do what they know they can do.
Need vs Form
If we do
or say things
to fulfill a need,
then we form our objects,
organizations,
and rituals
to fulfill that need.
Yet,
the words,
the behaviors,
and the forms of our objects
and organizations
can mislead us,
if we fail to comprehend
and appreciate
the underlying needs
that shaped it.
Tis
how easily
dogma
is born.
How to Motivate
When speaking of
others
we ask
how can we motivate them?
When I ask
how do you motivate
yourself?
They say
I dont need
motivation
or I dont wait
for motivation.
What makes you think
others
are different?
