Honoring Another Person's Less-Ness - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Have you ever wanted something for another person?

When I was young, I wanted my mom to be a leader, or at least a volunteer. I was in scouting and wanted my mom to be one of the moms who went camping with us, and who did the arts and crafts and music and survival skills and all the other learning experiences the troop did. When I asked her to please be part of it, her answer was “I’m not really much of a joiner.”

Mom grew up in a time of low expectations for women: wives, mothers, housekeepers. She was an amazing person – a reader who studied all sorts of things, who dipped into our encyclopedias often to satisfy her itch to learn, and who was content to watch her family shine while she didn’t.

It’s not easy to want something for another person, and if that’s a spot you’re in, may I offer you something that may help you? Even when you know that what you want for them is what they may want for themselves deep down, until they’re ready to take steps, your pushing will only annoy them.

Want what you want for yourself and allow others the same grace.
