Interdependence

Is it time to free yourself from dependence on others?

Are you ready to be truly responsible for your life?


My Declaration of Independence:  

All people are created equal by our Creator with the birthright to live with free will, creating happiness for ourselves, within a world that values these rights.  Let us each Live our own personal Declaration of Independence!🎆


YOU ARE FREE TO CHOOSE.

LEARN FROM YOUR CHOICES.


Affirmations:

Love is Freedom.

I free you to be you.

Love is Trust.

I trust you to freely be who you are.


Interdependence


Dependence > Independence > Interdependence


Basic human needs are survival, safety, love/belonging, achievement and self actualization.


Dependence

We are a species born to be dependent on our parents, elders and teachers.

To survive we learn from observing and listening.

We listen and follow instruction and learn through trial and error.

We learn to adapt to a variety of people who may teach us differently.


We seek approval and learn to please to get what we need and want.

When we discern what is valued by each adult/teacher/leader, we can accommodate.

We are valued for our obedience and our dependence, as we grow in self sufficiency.

In the beginning of our lives dependence can be fostered, ignored or discouraged by care givers.


Independence

When our ego is fed, we grow strong in confidence, assertiveness and decision-making.

Usually in the stage of adolescence or emancipation, we begin to assert our independence.

We choose alternative facts, experiences and creative competition to succeed in being best or right.

Our independence fosters creative problem-solving, innovation, and making decisions independently.


Independence is where we learn to take responsibility for successes and failures.

We learn to persist even when there are challenges, resistance and difficulties.

In the independent phase we learn to benefit rather than blame and to grow in courage.

The desire of independent adults is to “do it ourselves” without interference from authorities.


Interdependence

When we have mastered the basic human needs (above), we may return to seek interdependence.

In families, businesses, organizations, we seek to interact with others in a respectful and responsible way.

Our desire to cooperate encourages mutual benefit to all parties for win-win outcomes.

With an attitude based on the principles of being fair, caring and sharing, everyone benefits.


When everyone helps everyone succeed with no winners and losers, all persons become more conscious.

With mindfulness and consciousness following universal principles, everyone grows in understanding.

“Two become more than two” and ”One for All and All for One” is understood and actualized.

The experience of  interdependence is unavailable until individual independence is achieved.


Consider where you are on your path to fulfillment and creative consciousness.

Consider what steps you need to take to be fully and freely independent.

Consider what individual basic needs you are called to fulfill first.

Understand where others are around you, as you allow their personal journey.


There is freedom and trust, as we learn to accept ourselves in our own journey.

There is respect and allowance for others, as we let go of judgment and comparison.

There is creativity and diverse opportunities, as we allow ourselves to dream and vision.

There is enthusiasm and gratitude, as we step out in faith with daring and certainty.


Life is Good, wherever we are in our own journey.

Loving, Trusting and Freeing us All.

Betty Lue


Love Is Trust and Freedom

¤      I love you      ¤
and I know you love me too.

LOVE IS FREEDOM
The freedom for you and I to be who we are.
The freedom to live life as we do.
The freedom to make mistakes and learn from them.
The freedom to express our own truth as we see it.
 
LOVE IS TRUST
The trust that there is a constant flow of love,
no matter what.
The trust that, in spite of life’s problems,
we believe in and support each other’s right
to live as we choose.
The trust that in adversity,
there is healing and learning and gifts of love.
The trust that under conflict and emotional expression,
there is love
 
I love you and I trust you.
I free you to be all you are.

What Did You Do With Your Time?


It is all your time.

You can do as much or little as you want.

You can make up for lost time.

You can create no time at all.


Time really is ours to do what we want to do.

Some waste time.

Some use every minute.

Some feel pushed by time.


How do you feel about the time you have?

Do you enjoy how you use your time?

Are you a victim of the time you have?

Are you always rushed to get things done?

The house is neat and orderly, before I go to bed by 10 PM and up by 6 AM

I wake up ready for a great day with meditation, stretching and writing Loving Reminders.

I stay connected with inspiring emails, and preparing for a positive day of counseling.

I actively learn from everyone and everything I do and say and listen to.


Laundry, meal prep and daily chores are natural, effortless and fun.

Sharing healthy meals and conversation are good for body and soul.

We exercise twice daily outside and have 30 minute power nap for renewal.

We relax with special programs, reading or more learning after a light supper.


I almost forgot I am in my office seeing my clients for 6-8 hours daily.

Everything is as fun and fulfilling as everything else because I value it all.

I use my time in ways that feel helpful, beneficial, inspiring and fulfilling. 

I love my life and my life loves me.


Yes, I spend an hour or so daily with paperwork, phone calls and business.

Our lifestyle is super healthy with organic sources of nutrition and happy interaction.

I keep myself inspired with loving and positive and appreciative thoughts and words.

Encouraging you to use what you have consciously with gratitude and joy.
