Understanding.
There comes a point in your life when you have to stand up for what you know your worth is. You have to love yourself enough to say I deserve more and for the first time, I have finally done this. It was hard, because part of me didn't want to do it, that part of me was ok with getting what I could but my heart and mind knew that I deserve more. So, I listened and I feel good about my decision.
What I appreciate so much about standing up for what's best for me, was the understanding that was shown when I tried to express how I felt. It was articulated back to me better than what I gave because this person understands and feels the same. Listening to the response today with an open mind and heart, changed my perspective, made me see from their point of view. I see now, that yes, I do fit things into black and white because it's easier for me, I will start training myself to live in the gray, a happier place.
It's unreal how when two people openly and honestly communicate with eachother, how situations become clearer and easier. Communication has been so hard for so long and I am discovering what has been missing a big part of my life.....knowing how to communicate and listen.
Listening is half of communication, it can be the best part if you truly listen. You can learn and grow by listening with your heart and your open mind. You can learn empathy and compassion. You can see the world through another's eyes and understand what needs to be understood.
Understanding..... it drew me closer to someone today, I'm so grateful for it.
