Liking

Share it Please

“A true friend is one who knows all about you and likes you anyway.”

Christi Mary Warner

American psychologist Carol Giligan is quoted as saying “I've found that if I say what I'm really thinking and feeling, people are more likely to say what they really think and feel. The conversation becomes a real conversation.” Real conversations open the pathway to true friendship and the possibility of liking each other despite our differences. Think about the people in your life you can say you really like. Possibly they have many qualities you do not like and yet you like them still. What is it that allows you to continue liking them?

I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
