Instead of:
Telling me all the ways you are right and I am wrong
Tell me all the ways you love me Instead of:
Telling me all the things you hate about your life
Tell me all the things which make you happy
Instead of:
Telling me what you see as wrong in the world
Tell me about ways you think we can change it
Instead of:
Telling me one person can't make a difference
Tell me what you are doing to save the earth
Telling me you don't like the neighbours
Tell me what you have done to make them feel welcome
Instead of:
Telling me how many regrets you have about the past
Tell me how you are going to manifest your dreams in the present
Instead of:
Telling me it is all my fault, her fault, his fault, God's fault
Tell me who did the chosing when the decision had to be made
Instead of:
Telling me let me tell you
Life hangs from one breathe to the next
now would be a very good time to see the glass as being full
instead of half empty
now would be a very good time to look for the good in people
now would be a very good time to begin to live in the present and let go of the past
now would be a very good time to tell your partner you love them and to let go of old wounds and hurts
As Mother Teresa reminded us "we only have today let us begin"

Thank you and yes she was. This article was inspired by an argument I had with my partner which made me realize if I told my partner I loved you maybe I would get more of what I wanted rather than trying to be right :o)
A piece full of wisdom, Robin!never too old to learn a life lesson
Very, very nice Robin. Excellent advice.
