"In a time when every self-help
book I read talked about finding groups of like-minded people to further your
goals, and being true to who you are over who others may want you to be, I
found the opposite to be true. I found that if I went into every situation
caring more about what was important to the other person, then who I was grew
ten fold.
I learned that it was all about
the person, and in order to care about the person I needed to choose to care
about what was important to them, and make it important to me.
When it comes to children,
their interest often times becomes our interest and their excitement becomes
our excitement, and before we know it, we are filled up with contagious joy.
We all do that for children.
Imagine if we did that for other adults as well.
Imagine if we cared more about
them feeling happy than us feeling right.
Imagine if we cared more about
them feeling known than us feeling superior.
Imagine if we cared more about
them feeling accepted than us feeling righteous.
Imagine if we cared more about
them feeling joy than us feeling envy.
Imagine if we cared more about
them feeling abundance than us feeling security.
Maybe sometimes it's not so
much about being who we are at all costs. Maybe sometimes it's about letting go
of who we are to see who we might become.
Just something to think about." ~Sara Frankl
