Paying attention
Everyone reveals themselves in layers. That’s what makes it interesting to get to know people in our work, our life, and our world. When I was younger, one of my weaknesses was being seduced by the positive energy of people I got to know. I still have this weakness because as we now know, weaknesses are abilities, and as such, once we have them we will always have them. I am still enamored by the positive energy people express in my direction. What I am getting wiser about is expecting that if people express negative energy toward others, it won’t be long before you will find the same negative energy focused toward you. It becomes simply a call for paying better attention so we can better surround ourselves with people who are genuinely life-giving.
