If life was easy what would the point be of being inside our human skin?
Within every obstacle, every problem and every challenge there is a gift.
What I hear you say - a gift?
every challenge, growth and freedom, wisdom and strengthAs the center of personal growth there is nothing but love. So today I thought I would share some thoughts on the different forms of love.
As we learn from history I think it’s best to go back in history to Ancient Greek.
Ancient Greek is the language in which the New Testament was written and it has three words for love.
agape, eros, forms of love, loving kindness, nothing but love, philos, sexual passion, three words for loveToday I would like to share some thoughts on giving/generosity.
These are saying that I have discovered as I learn and increase my personal growth.
” In charity there is no excess ”
To me this is such a simple way to describe where my head space should be when I am thinking about giving.
Dana, generosity, giving, good works, Maimonides, more giving, poverty, true charityIn the last few post we have looking at people pleasers and how hard it is to say NO and so I’d like to sum up what is was all about for me - and maybe this might help you.
Figure out what makes you happy.
For instance, you may like reading magazines, reading a novel, watching videos, going to the drive-in, going to a park, or listening to music.
ability to say no, Ask someone to help you, No, one step at a time, people pleasers, practice saying NO, what makes you happy, your power to changeBreaking out of the people pleasing cycle .
So I’d like to share some of the things that helped me break free.
First, practice saying NO.
This is a very important word!
ability to say no, feeling selfish, I can’t do that, I don’t want to go there, No, practice saying NO, saying no, Stop saying YES all the timeWell lets continue sharing the experiences of a people pleaser.
It’s painful being a people pleaser - believe me, I know!
People pleasers are not only very sensitive to other people’s feelings, and often take things personally, but they also rarely focus on themselves.
ability to say no, feel selfish, say no to my family and friends, vulnerable to be being taken advantage ofOne of the earliest things that I had to overcome on my personal growth path was the ability to say no.
It wasn’t just simply like a young tyke refusing to do something.
It wasn’t falling to floor in the mall screaming and throwing my arms and legs all over the place.
ability to say no, say no to my family and friends
