I had a lovely compliment last week that I am holding onto at the moment: ‘thank you for being so kind!’
Why is that so special?
Because in the family law space, there is a lot of trauma, pain and conflict.
Kindness makes people feel safe and supported.
And when we feel safe and supported, we can open ourselves up to being vulnerable. Put ‘silly’ ideas out there that may lead to resolution. We can be brave enough to offer a little more than what we have previously because if that resolution is accepted, we can move forward. Because if we offer a little more, the other person may offer a little more too.
When we feel safe and supported, we can trust in the process that we are going through and be our real selves.
What a lovely thing to be recognised for. Wouldn’t it be nice if EVERYONE was just a little more kind in every transaction with every person they encountered? Imagine what a wonderful place this world would be!
