Session 10: Acceptance
Can I just start by saying that personal growth can be so HARD? Especially when we fight against it. We spent this entire, agonizing session talking about acceptance. In fact, he was relentless in making sure that I understood the purpose of the session:
Acknowledgement that I need to do some “acceptance” work.
I have SEVEN take-aways. Let’s begin.
Welcome to the human race – I don’t have to be perfect to be loved
When in conflict with someone, stop and ask myself:
Does it matter who is right or wrong? Why? How much? For how long?
Is this conflict more important than the relationship?
Practice intelligent faith, not naiveté
Understand the process — and there IS a process.
The importance of (positive) reciprocity.
Give AND Receive, reciprocity and balance is healthy
Do I trust first or wait for proof?
Make the unconscious conscious
