Okay, this one may be a little tougher depending on the context of your relationship with your other person. But let's give it a whirl.
Many of our relationships today are considered "discardable", "disposable" - throw them away when they get to hard, to difficult, or to chaotic. My belief is that we are all intertwined together in the bond of our common humanity.
So what would be the opposite mindset to this "throw away" mentality. The word that comes to mind is devotion. When you are devoted to something or someone no matter the imperfections of the other. I believe it is our responsibility, to step in and devote ourselves to the success of the other person. When you mistreat your other person you are mistreating yourself. So let's agree to show some devotion today.
Today's challenge: How can you warm the heart of your other person today? How can you show your devotion to them today? Look for opportunities to bring warmth to the coldness of his or her day. May choose a gesture that says, "I am devoted to you" or "I will protect you." And do it with sincerity.
When complete, reflect on the following: 1. How did you choose to show that you are devoted to your other person? 2. What did you learn from the experience?
I expressed faith in another person and positive attitude for the best outcome possible. As a result, I feel great because I put my best intentions/scenario in words (defined it), shared this with another person and received very positive feedback so far! Feeling energized!
