Because I value those who enrich my life by their presence and love, I consider their feelings in my words, actions and decisions.
While I have let go of the idea that other people’s feelings should dictate my actions, I consider the effects that my choices will have on those closest to me and bear that in mind.
I recognize that their feelings and concerns are as valid as my own.
Life is like a pool of water. When I toss in a pebble, those around me feel the ripples.
Every action I take and every word I speak affects others.
I have let go of the idea that I should be able to operate in a vacuum; I want a far richer life than that would provide anyway!
I feel gratitude for the community I live in.
I know that building and sustaining a community where all members feel supported and valued requires a conscious effort by all members.
Therefore, I take time to think honestly about the effects of my actions on those I love.
There are times when I am affected by the decisions of others.
As an adult, I have the choice to walk away from circumstances if I feel that someone is putting me in an unhealthy or intolerable situation.
I do have freedom, but their choices still affect me.
I greatly appreciate it when others take the time to consider the effect of their choices on my life.
In return, I grant the same concern for the feelings of others that I desire from them.
How have you taken the time to ask those closest to you how they feel about your choices?
How do you show your loved ones that their feelings are as valid as your own?
Talk about that in the Personal Growth Cafe Community!
