Sometimes
instead of telling someone
to “do this,”
asking them
if they would be willing
to “do this,”
or if they would be against
“doing this”
may be all that is required
to foster collaboration
as opposed
to compliance.

Knowing vs Doing
We need not always
know
before we
do.
In fact,
knowing
can sometimes prevent us
from doing the very thing
that will help us learn
what we need
to know.
Mistakes
Sometimes
we wonder to ourselves
why we have to make mistakes
to learn what others
already seem
to know.
Without realizing
that they, too,
may have had to make
the same mistakes,
just earlier than us.
Or that they have yet to learn,
but merely come across
as if they’ve learned
given the luck
and grace
of their circumstances.
Disrespect & Distrust
We sometimes
take on the burden
of someone‘s expectations
while that someone
is proactively making an effort
to not expect.
May we become aware
that doing so
can be to disrespect
that person‘s efforts
because of our own inability
to trust the sustainability
of that person‘s
efforts.
