When Someone Asks…..
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,
