It's Friday.
Bless America.
I saw clients yesterday. A lot of them. And it's always a humbling experience to sit in with people in their darkness, to honor their pain. It is frustrating to watch people sit in their problems like a hot tub and just swim around in them for a while without doing anything to get out of the hot water. And it is amazing to watch people shift their thinking, rewrite their stories, and turn their heartaches into beautiful strengths. Seeing clients makes me reevaluate myself and my relationships, and reminds me that though our gender, or race, or religion, or sexuality, or marital status, or income may be different, we all share the same basic human experience.
Every person is seeking meaning and happiness. The details are different, the big picture is the same. That's what it all boils down to.
How are you coming along on that search?
