Helping others become even better versions of themselves
We are all on our own unique journeys and at our own pace.
We are all trying to do the best that we can right now and we all are acting with good intentions.
That could be the starting place for all communications if we choose it to be. See the other person from that position.
The last thing anyone needs is unsolicited advice and judgement. We need to be seen and felt listened to.
We can not amend the past, or promise to be better in the future, as both the past and the future exist only in our minds and those of others. It is about what we choose to do now that counts.
Brene Brown brilliantly describes integrity as “choosing courage over comfort; it’s choosing what’s right over what’s fun, fast or easy; and it’s practising your values, not professing them”.
We can only practice integrity now, the only time we can ever do, change, amend, practice, act, say, feel or do anything. We can not practice it in the future or go back and do it in the past. Making amends is about doing it now. Building trust is about doing it now.
We make the choices in everything in our life. We need to be responsible and accountable for the outcomes of those choices. It all happens now.
