openness and honesty
We could write an entire
book
about communication (and
in fact,
we did), but for now let’s focus on
the two most important
things:
openness and honesty. The control
paradigm teaches us to
keep our
hearts in locked boxes. We
learn
that our souls and our
dreams
aren’t important - that
we’re naïve
idealist dreamers who need
to
buckle down and get a
reality
check.
But if you can push past
that
fear (of being hurt, of
ridicule, of
being seen, of losing
friends) to
open up and share your
authentic
self, you’ll find that
connection
will flow. Everyone
hungers
for connection. Our
culture
encourages isolation,
which
leads us to buy in to
systems of
control. To escape
control, we
must connect. If we unlock
the
boxes that hide our hearts
and
share ourselves openly and
truly,
we’ll find that we’re not
alone
at all. We’ll find
heartsisters and
heartbrothers everywhere
we turn.
