With it, you will move away from the usual habits of judgment, blame, evaluation, criticism, and good/bad thinking. You will understand human behavior as an attempt to meet universal human needs. This opens the heart to compassion and giving and receiving from the heart. With this frame of reference you and others can respectfully move toward strategies to meet important human needs using conscious choice.When people feel the satisfaction of being heard, understood, respected and having their needs met, they peacefully move into strategies of desiring to give and to enhance one another’s lives and to work creatively toward the success of what they are participating in.I believe that the foundation of good relationship with self and others is based on openness and curiosity. Openness and curiosity are the basis of good communication. We must have clear connection with our own experience in order to be present and available to connect with others. I believe the journey of life to be one we naturally enjoy sharing as human beings. The more we can share fully, deeply, effectively and compassionately, the more satisfying our life, work, and play will be.
