It’s easy
to judge others
for getting addicted
to power.

And yet,
once someone realizes
that what power gives us
is the potential
to never have to expose
our vulnerabilities,
to never have to feel
such unpleasant
emotions,
as shame
and embarrassment
it’s not too difficult to image
why anyone
would not wish to let go
to not get addicted
hard to blame anyone
for not wanting to lose
that way.

A way
called “power.”

When tension amounts
it introduces stiffness,
aches,
and knots,
which impacts
our mobility.

It isn’t
that we are merely unwilling
to change our position,
but that changing positions
is hard
due to stiffness,
aches,
and knots.

Help us relieve our tension
and we will naturally change
positions.

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

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

Some give gifts
based on their projection
of value.

Something expensive
Something rare
Something ??

The receiver appreciates gifts
based on what they value
but have difficulty attaining.

Something they wouldnt pay that much for
Something

When employees
frustrate us,
we at least have the option
to either blame their incompetence
or support them
to fully utilize their competence.

When we think they’re disrespecting us
they may simply be stalling trying to satisfy us by doing something on their own instead of simply asking for help

The word empathy

was originally invented to explain

why we can feel connected

to something or someone

with whom we perceive to have

distance

or

boundary.

Sometimes

such boundary blurring

or distance closing

can yield positive outcomes

Other times

not so much.

Empathy

is neither good

nor bad.

It is simply

an explanation.

The responsibility lies

with each

and every one of us

When others
cannot understand what we’re saying
or doing
we can,
to them,
sound.

‘t their fault.

I couldn’t even understand myself,
so how could I expect more from others?

But then I met people
who understood me
better than I could understand
myself.

Without them
I would not be here.

If you are feeling
depressed and anxious
I want you to know
that it’s not your fault.

Nor is it the fault of those around you.

You sought validation.

Only to realize
that others
think you’re crazy.

…

Here’s the thing.

Both you
and others
are not
wrong.

The reason why others think you’re crazy
is because they cannot
empathize with you.

They cannot empathize with you,
because they don’t know how.

You’re not helping, either,
because you’re not communicating well.

You’re not communicating well,
because you don’t know
what you’re talking about.

You don’t know what you’re talking about,
not because you’re incompetent,
or stupid,
but because you haven’t reflected enough.

That’s not your fault.

When we’re alone,
it’s very easy
to confuse rumination
with reflection.

May we remember
that reflection
requires a particular kind
of relationship.

May we not let others convince us
that we’re crazy.

May we develop a relationship
where we can reflect.

There
is a world of a difference
between trying to persuade
and persuasion emerging
as a byproduct.

There is a world of a difference
between trying to help
and helpfulness emerging
as a byproduct.

The day our employees stop complaining
is not necessarily the day
they no longer have complaints.

It may be the day
they have stopped
caring.
