Daily Inspiration Excerpt #21 from The Key Essentials to Balance

Misunderstandings can foil the flow of love.

Many times, a misunderstanding can be healed through communicating about it. Try sharing feelings and perspectives without criticizing, blaming or complaining.

It also helps to seek to understand the other person’s perspective in advance.

A common issue that leads to frustration for people is when one person is in a position of waiting for a response from a person who is running around with many things to do (be it work, kids, endless chores, issues with other people, deadlines, homework, etc.). In these situations, it is like the people are in two different time zones. These vast “time-life zones” can make it feel like a week has passed for the waiting person while the busy/distracted person senses only a small amount of time has passed. Complicating this factor is that some people can process their feelings about a situation rather quickly while others may need days or even weeks to allow experiences to fully digest.

Inspiration for the Day: “Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.”—Rumi
