"We all have slightly different views on the world. Our window on the world is filtered by our early experiences, beliefs and memories. These filters allow us to deal with the two million bits of information that we are exposed to at any one moment. It is impossible to process all this data. So we delete, distort and generalise the incoming information.
However, many of us believe that the way we experience the world is the way it is. It is your unique view … it is the truth for you. Others will have a different view. Their truth, while being different from yours, is right for them."
"Your future relationships are being shaped by your thoughts and behaviours of today. What you choose to do today affects what you will have tomorrow. Today and now are the places to start. Good luck!"
To share power does not mean giving up power. It can be like sharing the light of a candle. When you light another person’s candle, your light does not diminish. In fact there is more light for everyone.The enlightened approach to resolving conflict involves respect. Respect is about recognizing others as being
different and accepting them with their differences. It happens when I am able to say You’re OK even though you have a different set of values and principles from me ... if I accept you for who you are rather than who I want you to be ... if I recognize that your needs, although different, are as important as mine.
