P. 23
Our ability to listen primarily to ourselves is a core relational
skill, a skill that is fueled by the collaborative meeting of our
mind and our emotions, which in turn enables us to listen and
to relate with others.
There is a relativity between our ability to ‘read’ others
emotionally and our capacity to build and to sustain healthy
relationships.
When our decisions and choices come from a position of true
‘self-responsibility’ they will demonstrate an awareness of our
own needs, as well as an awareness of the consequences of our
decisions and actions and therefore an awareness of the needs
of others.
Wisdom is the outcome of knowledge and experience
integrating together. A collaborative relationship between our
mind and our emotions actively enables this process to take
place.
Our mind and our emotions make a very powerful team.
When they work well, this collaborative relationship will
support us in navigating our lives responsively.
