Ever found yourself standing alone trying to replay what just happened. One minute you were laughing and talking and the next your friend is off in a huff. Or you yourself have gone from good mood to one of “not so good”. Miscommunication?
Do you stew over it, waste the evening, or do you address the issue? If you don’t speak about your thoughts and actions, you will not be able to express how you truly feel.
In PL the teaching is to take ownership for our actions and words. By expressing ourselves it opens heart to heart communication/connections. We know how it feels when we feel we have been slighted, or neglected. Saying “Thank you”, or ” I’m sorry” goes a long way towards building and maintaining lasting friendships.
PL Principle #3 > I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
PL Principle #6 > I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.
PL Precept # 4 > Being annoyed limits your expression.
Strive for heart to heart connections. Everyone benefits. (PL lesson, day 15)
“As long as we insist that we are separate, individual entities apart from the rest of the universe, then we shall never realize Oneness” Deng Ming-Dao
