For your consideration….
Recently, I think, we had a message about personal responsibility and yesterday we had one on perspective. I love today’s message because it offers us a different perspective on personal responsibility.
We are reminded today that one of the greatest gifts we can give to someone is the space to grow, space to spread their wings and learn to fly.
At first thought we think, sure no problem. That’s easy. But when we consider letting our children go, letting an employee run with a project, our friends go in a direction we think is bad for them etc., we realize that it is often very difficult giving people the space to grow. This is because when we give them space we must relinquish control and judgment and replace them with trust and faith. We have to accept that mistakes will be made and celebrate that they are lessons learned.
Room to grow is a gift not only to the receiver but the giver as well. When we give others room to grow, we are planting a garden that benefits many as it bears fruit.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take….
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Give others room to grow.
What made me smile yesterday…..
-Belle Isle full of people and starting to bloom again.
-Jordan and Alex’s wedding.
-Celebrating with family and friends.
-Mac and AJ are babysitters extraordinaires.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
