Didn’t have the chance to recently try out the challenge, but have many experiences of it’s “miraculous” effects. I share one: on the path of search for work in a new/desired field, I was “forced” to go to college as a senior student. Had 2 teachers to highlight the experience, call them T1 and T2. The subject T1 was teaching was the major I was attracted to the program, the subject T2 was teaching was like meh, good to have it, will drag through it. T1 was serious, conservative teacher, T2 was innovative and was fighting to have a classroom with round tables, where we can sit in circles and interact, brainstorm, problem solve and mutually support. … long story short – however there is lots of goodness in between 🥰 – I failed T1 subject related field placement and almost gave up on the whole entire program because of it, yet passed the T2 subject with flying marks and changed the trajectory of my work interest. Thankful for both teacher, as both did really go out of their own way – very differently – to help us succeed in the end. Will try Tim’s suggestion as soon as I can, thank you for the reminder.
Darn yes! So damn painfully, especially with the part of being rejected and shamed in front of a group (very recent and raw experience) it really feels like physically ripping the heart and guts out, you just have a hint of strength on spot to not fall apart, but when have the chance to hide … oh Lord, it all happens: complete breakdown! – still crying it out 😭. Although I know it all comes from the Creator and can find the way to get going – that’s why I am here – it hurts tremendously when it comes from a place you least expect. “I don’t care what you feel” hurts more then anything I ever felt before … I trust the Creator’s plan to use this in a collectively useful way.
I find it easy to agree. I find a great joy of spending time and effort to understand people, listen to them and bring comfort into their lives by being present in very difficult situations; this goes beyond spending money, I just have to be conscious that money is a tool, an energy resource that flows to support me with this type of joy. I have to have the ability, strength, health to make the money, and then use it as a fuel for supporting me in finding the joy in connection. Still egoistic, I know, but discovered this joy “by accident” as a grocery store worker about 10 years ago (story available if anybody interested 😉) and keeps developing as my job now is supporting people with disabilities and their families in everyday life, connecting and practicing empathy, compassion, understanding, strength and problem solving through observation in everyday situation. Parallel to that, I am attempting building our broken family back together – adult children gone in wrong ways, painfully realizing what I lacked as a parent when they were younger, thinking I was giving them good parenting. Luckily I have my husband as “partner in crime” 100% and have the mutual support for each other in this difficult situation. It all comes down to me, that there is a deep joy in seeing human development where it is almost impossible, also seeking out connections – egoistically of course, I know – where I feel safe to build strength and goodness through vulnerability, and always moving away from situations where that is not possible … haha, desire to receive in full action! Desire to give it away and share it even greater! Looking forward what comes next.
Hello, I’m here to expand my connection network, learn new social skills to bring positive influence into my busy, demanding everyday life.
Kabbalists teach that it is authentic, bestowal based connection with others. Therefor we have to place ourselves in an environment where we can grow and develop our created egoistic nature to benefit the while entire humanity.
Dear Leanne, thank you for the gift of expressing yourself in a way that is so touchy and moving, I felt you, your words cracked me up 😄. I had not enough conscious awareness of it, but indeed felt – still feeling – that the Creator operates in a funny way, and laughs with Us, just was reluctant to approach Him from his funny side 🫣; thank you for reinforcing that 🙏, I am laughing more and more these days, my funny bone has been resurrected 😍.
