I am present and honor requests with an open mind and
willing heart.
I trust humanity is seeking to be heard.

When you
are asked, do you always say “YES”?
When
children ask for help, are you too busy?
When
your partner asks, are you too lazy?
When a
stranger asks, are you too afraid?
When
your boss asks, do you respond with “Yes Sir”?
When the
teacher asks, do your kids say, “ Yes”?
When
your neighbor asks, do you respond with “ Yes?”
When you
are asked by anyone anywhere, are you willing to say YES?
When you
learn to say YES, your fear of being alone will go away
When you
remember to say YES, your concerns about not having enough will diminish.
When you
are willing to say YES, you will stop believing that your requests are
embarrassing.
When you
stop judging others for asking for help, you will see all requests are learning
opportunities.
Saying
YES with an open heart and willing Spirit is a gift to both giver and receiver.
Saying YES
with annoyance and judgment leaves both with a feeling of separation.
Saying Yes
in a way that empowers, teaches and inspired the other, gives both fulfillment.
Saying Yes
from a place of inner guidance, you know that the voice of Spirit is always YES
Parents
must learn how to listen deeper than the surface request.
“What is
my child really needing right now?”
Love,
attention, reassurance, direction, learning or encouragement……
“I
wonder how I can best be helpful to you right now?” we must ask ourselves.
Partners
must ask themselves when hearing a request, “How am I called to
respond?”
Is this
a request for help, advice, listening, doing something now, making a
commitment, etc?
Every
request has an inner meaning or underlying motivations.
When we can
read, hear and know what is really needed, we can easily respond accordingly.
Often questions
are simply to create connection.
“Please
be with me now in my request.”
Often
questions are the opportunity to be responded to with acknowledgement and
listening.
We
disempower other from hearing themselves and doing for themselves when we
simply do for them.
“Where
are my socks?” can mean “Help me find them.” “Are you
listening?” or “Can I talk to you?”
If we are
willing to say YES and listen with a happy, willing, open mind, we respect and
empower.
“I am
hungry.” Can mean “Will you tell me it’s ok.” , “What’s for
dinner?, “Will you fix me a snack?”
Are we
willing to put down the phone, turn off the TV and face the other with a
willingness to listen?
When someone asks, are you willing to listen?
When someone asks, are you open to respond?
When someone asks, do you trust and honor their
request?
When someone asks, do you say “YES, I am here”?
Learning,
empowering and fulfilling myself, as I respond with YES,
