I love the ‘hard conversations’.
The one’s where two HEARTS come together and share their truth, their needs, and desires.
Not from a space of blaming or shaming but instead from a space of open-heartedness. Of wanting what is best for self and also for the other person.
It’s often I think we get in a US vs. THEM mentality of competition when it comes to relationships.
At times things can’t be overcome in a relationship, but often we shut off the chance by not stepping out of our egos long enough to truly see/hear the other person.
I love the hard but heart-centered conversations because, while we might not like what the other person is saying, we know it is coming from a space of love and truth.
We are all dynamic and complicated humans that are simply crashing into each other’s wounding, ego, and hearts.
Communication and a true willingness to listen and try to understand another is the only way we can authentically connect.
Today, I had a hard conversation!
And I applaud not only myself but the other person because these types of real, hard, and yet loving conversations are hard to come by in a very fake world.
A world where we would rather throw a relationship away instead of doing the hard work.
When we try to feel another human’s intent
When we try to hear beyond their words
When we get out of listening from the ego
When we give up trying to ‘win’
We will finally meet the deeper aspects of another and their truth. And that truth is beautiful… even if it’s not comfortable!
I love the ‘hard conversations’ that are from the place of two hearts really connecting and sharing because they are REAL.
What are the conversation you are avoiding?
And are you having your conversations from a space of trying to ‘win’ and get what you want or from a space of heart?
Love,
Addison
