VALUE
What is it that you value and how do you know that you value it? Value is also a word that one needs to "qualify"; how much value do I place on that which I value. Because we are at the start of the New Year, let's not talk about monetary value, but heart value. If we really value someone, why is it that we really don't listen to what s/he says or needs? Why do we continue our same old behavior that they tell us hurts them. Is it because we really don't care if we hurt them or is it because we just believe they are trying to change us and we refuse to change for the good of the couple-hood or family. See, value is not as simple as it sounds. In fact, value is quite complicated. So during this time of taking the Twenty Minute Coach as a serious route of change for this coming year, spend some reflective time with the word value. The dictionary says to value something is to decide on its worth, importance, and its usefulness. I do not believe we can value others until we value ourselves. But, paradoxically, unless we value others they are not going to stick around unless they believe they deserve someone who does not hear them. What would be so wrong with making some change for those around you? What is it that you really value?
