Let’s trust the Forces of Good and our personal, divine connection more and more. When we hear news that disturbs us, we take a breath, trusting the flow of life. Instead of railing against, reacting in fear, anger or defensiveness, we look to the flow of Good first. We can feel as though things have already gone our way.
How It Could Go
Cathe and Marcy were friends who were running an enriching project together. They each had students in separate classes, each required equipment that they shared.
The fall season was approaching and Cathe expected some new students interested in learning. Marcy was putting her focus on efforts in another location.
Marcy sent an email to Cathe asserting that the vast majority of the equipment was to be used only in her classes, not to be shared. In the past the supplies were shared and both teachers had enough.
Cathe read this missive feeling tired after a long day filled with other challenges. On first reading C felt hurt, angry and discouraged. Feeling her fatigue and reaction, our star knew she would not respond to M that evening.
Cathe’s pause and rumination included an effort to see Marcy’s viewpoint. M can be bossy and single minded. Cathe wanted a peaceful and cooperative solution. How could they find a win-win?
The Powerful Pause
That night dear Cathe prayed to Source Energy that Marcy would take time to see both sides and allow them to find a better solution with equipment for both of them. Then C let it go, felt good again, went on with her life.
A couple days later Marcy initiated a conversation with Cathe.
Marcy asked C if she had received the note about the what M needed.
“Yes,” Cathe said, “I don’t clearly comprehend your note. I do intend to add some additional students so that I can bring enough income to cover my share of the rent for the space. To do that, I need sufficient equipment.”
A Solution Pops
They went back and forth a bit. After explaining why she needs a big chunk of the supplies for herself, Marcy conceded that she does have extra at home and could bring them in to C to use.
There it was – a solution emerged! Our heroine enthusiastically applauded that idea and thanked her.
Cathe had gotten what she wanted without any big arguments or fuss. C had clarified what she wanted, asked Source for help, and focused on agreement.
