In the past, I’ve sometimes been hesitant to say or do something for fear of people’s responses. The responses I’ve feared have included:
- anger,
- disinterest,
- new upsetting information,
- misunderstandings,
- hurt feelings,
- needless worry,
- judgment,
- more work for me,
- disconnection, and
- no response at all.
I continually work on the courage to say and do what’s important without fear of people’s responses.
I wonder what people’s responses will be to today’s images:
I wonder what people’s responses will be to today’s National Days? And I assume that people’s responses to Michael’s first attempt at banana bread would be similar to mine: “OMG! This is so delicious!”
This is the first thing that pops up on YouTube when I search for “people’s responses”:
It helps me to know about other people’s responses to non-responsiveness.
No matter what people’s responses are, I’m grateful for you, every day!
