WISDOM STEPS LIGHTLY WHEN IT WISHES TO BE HEARD
When we feel we have good information to share, especially with our children, friends or family we can often be quite dominant in our delivery, saying things like you need to hear this or you’ve got to listen to me . We justify this because we feel we have something useful that will help them in some way.
The thing about this insistent voice is that quite understandably it creates resistance in the other. So that instead of helping them we often get into a situation where we suppress them . This often builds resentment and has the other dig in their heels , even when the advice is for their benefit.
However, if we truly wish to support someone, we would be wise to step lightly when sharing, if we wish to be heard and understood.
Start by inviting them to share their opinion first, relate to what they have said , and let them know you have listened carefully by repeating what you have heard . Then offer advice from a place of choice allowing them to agree to hear you before talking. Finally share the things you have learnt from your own experiences , rather then telling them about theirs .
With this approach you can openly share your riches with the world , without expectation or demand and watch the seeds of wisdom grow in each person’s garden naturally, blossoming in their own unique way .
What are you seeking to share that could be delivered in a less insistent manner?
