BEING YOURSELF:

~

When someone shares a problem, what is our reaction? Do we believe we need
to solve if for them?

When a person is faced with assuming responsibility for their life and
behaviors, what is our response? That they can't do that? I must do it myself
to save him or her.

What is our reaction to ourselves when we encounter a problem, a feeling, or
when we face the prospect of assuming responsibility for ourselves?

Do we believe in ourselves and others? Do we give power to people, including
ourselves? Or do we give the power to the situation?

We can learn to think, before we respond. "I'm sorry you're having a problem.
I know you can figure out a solution. I know you'll work through them and
come out on the other side."

To believe in people, to believe in each person's inherent ability to think,
solve problems, and take care of themselves is a great gift we can give
and receive from others.
