Those who crave to take ownership
will fill a void,
whenever there isnt something clear
that they own.

Vulnerability
If to be human
is to support
and to be supported,
we
allow one’s self
to be supported by another person
being fully human
can be hard.
If we do not know what kind of support we need
If we do not think we need support
Aligning Intention with Impact
May we
start
with the intention
to help
others.
But before helping,
may we put down
some of the weight we’re carrying
—even if temporarily—
especially the one,
where we feel responsible
for the other’s
happiness,
to affords us the ability
to share
the other person’s weight
by supporting them
instead of taking their weight
away
from them.
After helping,
appreciate their gratitude
instead of ignoring
or trivializing them.
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?
Fixing vs Creating
Sometimes
we spend so much time and energy
fixing
what we deem
broken
that we miss the opportunity
to create
something wholly
different.
Like that time
when we spent
Method vs Context
Sometimes,
we think our method of communication
sucks.
Maybe.
But before the method
there is
relationship.
It is in the relationship,
where emotions
such as trust
reside.
If the relationship is sound,
the method can matter
less.
If the relationship is unsound
the method
