Subject: [DailyDialogue #88] Honoring
"I agree to honor each person's process, acknowledging that everyone, including myself, is making the best possible choice or decision we are capable of at that moment of choice or decision." - Barbara Marx Hubbard
The definition of vulnerable is "open to attack or damage". When we share our feelings or ask for what we want, we are opening ourselves to an experience of thinking we have been wounded. In contract bridge, vulnerable means being open to increased penalties but entitled to increased bonuses after winning the game.
In relationships, we risk being penalized when we open our heart. If we are playing the game with someone who believes we can all win, we get a bonus by being vulnerable.
I choose to surround myself with people who acknowledge that I am doing the best I can. If I want to attract those kind of people, it's important that I honor others as doing the best they can.
Experiment: Dialogue with your partner about a recent experience where you judged yourself or another.
Affirmation: I honor my process and that of others.
