Where do you go
from here?
"We can learn to love more
by being more tolerant of differing viewpoints and recognizing the
value of diversity in all walks of life. The absence of malice and hatred will
naturally open the door
for acceptance and inclusiveness." -- Common Sense Relationships
"At the beginning of the
twenty-first century, are we leaving behind an earth shattering
legacy of hope and continued advancement, or are we intent on simply
shattering
the earth and all that it contains?" -- Common Sense Relationships
Why do you
spend so much time reacting to
instead of interacting with your loved ones?
"Change is growth. Whether
that growth is a tumor of negative outcomes that threatens
to bring down other elements of our existence, or it's positive and lifts our
spirits and those
around us, is solely up to us. Whatever we focus on will eventually be what we
receive."
-- Common Sense Relationships
"Educate yourself in
the ways and thoughts of another human being.
Take that which you do not understand and learn of it's origins rather than
throwing
hatred it's direction. Investigate your own inner workings, developing a
mastery of
your fears and misgivings so that they do not manifest themselves as violence
born of
ignorance. Keep tolerance in the foreground and accountability as it's
foundation."
-- Common Sense Relationships
Life
continually evolves, with or without
our active participation. Take steps to design
your life the way you want it to be.
"Talk to your children as individuals, not as puppets you
are directing in a play. Understand
that they have needs, desires, fears, and doubts. No, they're not on the
same level as what
an adult deals with, but to a child and the world that they live in, the details of
their
existence
are every bit as important to their well being as bringing home a
paycheck is to you and me."
-- Common Sense Relationships
To make a
better community and world,
begin by refining the relationships
closest to you.
| What
this book offers.
While many relationship texts are filled
with endless psychological terms and do's and don'ts, I've tried to use
this space to illustrate the need for awareness and asking
questions. Why do we do what we do? Where do our patterns of
action and interaction come from? Are we born with them? Are
they learned?
We can learn to recognize the behaviors
that get in the way of developing loving and lasting
relationships. We can also learn when we need to ask for help in getting past
some of the stumbling blocks that keep us from healing and moving on to
greater things. There is no reason to stay stuck in the patterns
of today and yesterday when we are perfectly capable of redefining who
we are at any given moment in time.
What this book won't do is offer a lot of
ritualized methodology and exercises for you to wade through.
There are competent counselors in your community to help you with the
specifics of your relationship journey. Knowing when to ask for
outside help is up to each individual during their personal evolution.
What I will do is point out through
fictional illustrations that everybody on the planet has room for
improvement in their personal relationships, even with themselves. We all make decisions
to go left, or right, stay at home, go out, talk to people, or remain
silent. Our choices and how others react to them define the person
we presently are, and the person we are becoming.
We can certainly examine our past and
reflect on how it influences our present, but we must not endlessly
dwell on it. If we recognize the pivotal moments in our early
personal history, and find ways to value them and learn from those
times, then we are less likely to repeat the negative outburst and
errant behavioral moments in the present and future. Change
will happen, to all of us. How we utilize the
poignant and pivotal moments of each day will ultimately define the
details of the lifetime journey we are on. Instead of allowing the
changes in our lives to serve as an excuse, to stay where we are at and blame others for our problems,
we can look for opportunities to
move forward and enhance our day to day existence. |
Do not fear the
what-ifs and unknowns of today
and tomorrow. Instead, be fearful of going
to your grave wondering what could have
been. Share your talents with the world.
Don't let your dreams die with you.
