Wondering what the F is going on here?

All of the nonsense you just read reflects how we listen to others. Meaning we don't really listen at all. We hear "words" coming out of people's mouths, but we hardly ever try to understand. We're too busy coming up with our reply, or we think we know what they mean already, so we tune them out.

With the way the world is at the moment, it's VERY CLEAR people have stopped being CURIOUS.

No one cares to find out why someone sees the world the way they do. 

Yet I get it. Having an inquisitive mindset takes effort. It's just easier to think and believe we're on different pages. You go your way. I go mine.

There's nothing wrong with taking space or completely moving apart. All of it is okay.

And for the record, a big reason we are torn apart is that no one wants to put in the effort to understand.

So why would someone who believes they're "right" be curious about the total opposite belief about something? Well, from the looks of it, they aren't.

From my personal experience, I'm in a text thread with my Dad where we exchange our personal beliefs with one another through questions and answers. And I have to say, it's one of the most connected, honest, respectful, and open conversations I've had with someone who has an entirely opposite view on life. It's beautiful.

With that, I want to challenge you to reach out to ONE person you have lost contact with because of opposing beliefs on all things C19. And here are the guidelines for the chance to find a middle and a chance to heal.

1. Pick a person that is willing to go on the journey with you.
2. This conversation is NOT about YOUR beliefs. It's about finding a way to gain understanding. And understanding leads to less judgment and more love to enter.
3. Ask a question FIRST without your beliefs tied to it. Give them the space to answer honestly. Once they respond, then that's your opportunity to share your perspective. But you're not to GIVE your perspective without hearing them out FIRST.
4. Do not bombard with FACTS. The only time the facts become a part of the conversation is if it applies to their response and is said in a loving way.
5. If you feel you are starting to sound aggressive, then know that is how they will receive it, and you could run the risk of damaging the open lane of communication.

The most important part to Re-Member is to STAY CURIOUS about them.

Again with the way the world is, we could stand to reach out some olive branches on our end. We can still disagree and have love for one another.

We need to start healing humanity, and it's not going to heal by itself. 

With lots of LOVE,
Teresa
