Why does it stop us? Go to yourself is the key. Its in somehow so easy. Do you want the people in your life to love you? If you are not in sync with someone or they are not able to know how to do – you be their path for giving love.
I know this can be hard, but tell those around you how great they are and how much you appreciate them. It can sometimes feel silly – and the other person also feel silly when you telling them – Ok, but grab a beer then and tell them when you are drunk 🙂
In Barcelona at Casa Battlo. Fantastic work by Gaudi in 1904.
For me its easy to often tell my Leonardo how good he is at work – giving him many ideas why he think he is. I found it hardest to tell my family how good they are – I though write them. I dont know why I have those hard emotions to tell them. Its me. Maybe you find it easier.
One thing that for sure works for me is to be myself, natural in all circumstances. It can be hard if you feel uncomfortble with some of your relations. I try to only think in this moment, about me, what Im standing for. Im tring to be genuine and real.
Never pretend something that you not are. Share your true, authentic self. Remember those who are arrogant, snobbish, or all kind of monster-words you can count to – those people have the biggest mask, they are the ones who are most afraid of everything. Try to stand strong beside them – or walk away.
Im still at casa Batllo 🙂 Such an amazing house that famiglia Battlo were living in.
Ok, when you are a genuine person, whatever you dont do is to dumping your garbage on those around you ( it calls to be manipulative ).
Be respectful of their needs and feelings too – and recognise that we influence and affect others’ moods. We can choose to either brighten or pollute the atmosphere – if your beloved ones understand, they follow you….that brighten state of mind 🙂
Outside La Sagrada Famiglia.
Be a great listener. That has not been easy for me ( how much I love to talkie talkie….hihihi…and always…) Just go now to yourself – Dont we feel loved and valued when others really listen to us?
Only listen. Stop coming with crazy opinions. Dont try to fix, change and make them into different people ( if they havent asked help or your opinion) Instead, provide them with freedom to simple let them be themselves.
You are not living their life. You are your own person – never forget that. Even if its your boyfriend/girlfriend – he/she has his own life and way of thinking. If he/she wants to make a change, maybe he/she do that one day – if not, you can decide to leave.
Walking in barceloneta beaches.
We don’t have to agree with, or respect, each others’ choices in order to have a good relationship with them. We can still be kind, and just agree to disagree.
Once I was together with a man that was absolutly angry over that I very often disagree with him. I had my view of life. Im was not living my life for pleasing his thoughts. I never had problem with that, he sure had.
Just respect!
