This week two experiences regarding help, listening, and hearing were given to me. The first came with a doctor, who is new to me. I was desperate for help. I did not want to feel as needy as I felt. Yet, I came to the doctor with undeniable needs. The second experience continues yet today. When I receive help, how do I respond?
I am not alone in having needs--undeniable needs. I am not alone in needing help. If all of us have been given undeniable needs, does that mean that help is undeniable?
Help.
Can I ask for help? Do I exert the strength I have been given to be needy to the degree I require? Can I dignify compassion, while I deflect pity for my needs?
Dignitaries of Compassion. Deflectors of Pity.
Can we serve as dignitaries of compassion in our lives each day, as we meet individuals in need? Can we be deflectors of pity, who serve as dignitaries of compassion?
Cultivators Who Redefine "Needy."
Can we be cultivators willing to redefine needy? Can we be cultivators willing to redefine undeniable help?
Undeniable Needs. Undeniable Help.
Do we hear undeniable needs? Do we listen to provide undeniable help?
Worthy Recipients?
Do we view ourselves as the only worthy recipients of undeniable help?
Do we view others as the only worthy recipients of undeniable help?
Recipients. Seekers. Recipients.
I am not alone. We are receiving help. Yet, how are we accepting it? What are our undeniable needs?
What undeniable help do we seek? What undeniable help will we receive?
