To be generous, is to call a friend
to open the door for someone
to compliment someone
to allow others to express
to write your thoughts
to challenge someone to do their best
to add to the conversation
to respond not react
to be present
But what if it doesn’t work? What if they don’t like it? And really, I shouldn’t be doing that anyway…
The script of the judge is powerful. Self judgement will freeze us in our tracks, and judging others will help to freeze everyone.
When we double down on generosity, we make things better.
When we shine the light of awareness on the judge, we can slowly find some workarounds.
When we do both – when generosity drives us over judgment, we can start to get out of our own way, and start to create the change we want to see.
