Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - The Creatures Who Seek Freedom

We are creatures who seek freedom. We want to make decisions for ourselves, we want to do what we want to do when we want to do it, and we want to follow our own path and blaze our own trail. Do you want that freedom just for yourself or do you want others to have their own freedom, too?

Uh-oh…did you just trip a little bit over that question?

At the root of many interpersonal problems is one person wanting something the other person doesn’t want them to want.

  • One partner in a relationship wants variety and the other wants monogamy.
  • One business partner wants to focus on growing the client base and the other wants to focus on serving the existing clients.
  • One world leader wants to facilitate harmony between nations and the other wants to dominate the world.

Often these disagreements spring from both sides feeling their freedom to choose is being stifled and they often devolve into bad feelings, arguments and breaking off communication.

Next time you’re in a situation where you feel your freedom to choose is being limited, instead of getting defensive, ask yourself what your options are. You may find a way for both sides to agree when you open yourself to all the options.
