Clarity of Innocence

The loving relationships we all crave are right there for us.

Loving relationships are not hard.

Far, far easier than the fighting we suffer through now.

All we need is better wisdom.

Where did we get our wisdom? Our beliefs? Our sense of what we should expect and demand?

Peer pressure! We picked it up from others.

Usually, it’s a trickle-down effect from those who wish to take advantage of us in some way.

IS THERE A BETTER WAY?

Thanks for asking.

Yeah, I know. You didn’t ask.

But I have to tell you anyway. I just have to. I can’t stop.

There sure is a better way. It’s also insanely obvious.

We’ve been taught control, though, and it will be hard to ignore those teachings.

Is it worth us changing ourselves?

You wouldn’t believe the importance, or the possibilities.

LIFE COMES FROM THE INSIDE!

Understanding the implications of that simple truth means a whole lot more than it would appear.

ACCEPTING WHAT COMES FROM WITHIN!

Nobody appreciates the difference this freedom makes until they experience it.

Everything changes!

Do you want the very best from others?

That comes from inside them!

When we accept and allow their lives and power to come from them, we begin to get the good stuff.

Another way to say the very same thing?

The return of trust!

Where did trust go? Now you know.

Others can’t do enough for us when we back off and allow their behavior to come from inside them.

CAN WE ENJOY TRUST WHILE INSISTING ON GETTING WHAT WE DESERVE?

Obviously not. Just look around.

But we can have what we have yearned for all of our lives.

It’s all free as well.

People are naturally loving. Every one of us.

However, it comes from within!

We will never see those good feelings if we insist on bullying our way through life.

We live in the very conflict that we cause!

THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE!

The consequences!

Well, first, how could there be any disagreement?

There can’t. Without directing others, conflict becomes impossible.

Do people begin to behave badly?

They don’t. The behavior of everybody improves and keeps getting better.

Why?

Because we get to be proud of ourselves. We no longer have to feel ashamed. How could we?

Without the criticism of others, we get to feel like we’re just fine.

People are loving. All of us. All bad behavior comes from feeling inadequate. With bullying, what we really accomplish is to cause others to feel useless!

Feeling alright, though, we revert to our natural condition. Loving and gentle people.

That’s who people are. But it comes from inside.

There may be a transition period. It takes a while to feel right after feeling useless for most of our lives.

People often go a bit wild when the control comes off. Acting out is often part of becoming healthy.

WHAT ABOUT GUIDANCE FOR THE CHILDREN?

Nature arranged life to be powered from within. All life.

When that is allowed and encouraged, behavior becomes wonderful, all by itself.

It really does.

Kids become strong and capable so fast that it’s astonishing.

They become alive! They glow!

This is only a surprise to us because we’ve been taught to keep them in firm control. We believed in it.

Sadly, this control has worked against us, turning our loving world into a world of resentment and defiance.

I will leave this discussion here. This is all that is needed anyway, as well as being quite a challenge for most of us.

For those people wanting one of those amazing, loving relationships, this is the recipe.

Ignore the crowds and try it. All by itself, that action will cause a before-and-after situation. A milestone of life.

It’s that powerful.

Thanks for listening.

Good luck on your journey.

Take care,
