Comment on Give Thyself Permission by Sue

“The problem arises when people push themselves to the threshold of others instead of knowing, trusting, and responding to their own.”

And that, is the hardest feat of all. Quite possibly, the greatest task in the search for “enlightenment.”

Love this! Love the way you express an idea in making it so seemingly easy and doable. What I often make to be such big burdens in my head can shift by simply owning my power. Thanks for the reminder!

Great post!

Who amongst us has not fantasized about a big moment only to tone it back in the last moments when reason kicks in. I always wonder what would happen if….

Thanks for sharing!

Hi John – Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I hear your point and can appreciate that at the core, it’s true, Cricket did not acknowledge or take responsibility for the neighbor’s upset or any part she may have had in contributing to it. The 100% responsibility (“RESPONSE-ABILITY”) Cricket did take, though, was removing herself from this situation because she knew the level of rage ultimately did not have to do with her. Instead of engaging with the neighbor’s anger – which, to my original point probably had more to do with the neighbor’s lack of self-care regarding this situation in the past than Cricket and her clogs in the present – she chose to respond with levity and leave. This was her 100% “ability to respond” and take care of herself in the moment. Perhaps the bigger point is that there are several aspects of 100% in each scenario. Using this example with Cricket, I outlined one of them. Fair?

While I think there is wisdom in the lessons you have drawn out of this story, I can’t help but wonder whether “Cricket” has really “owned her 100%.” She fails to acknowledge to the enraged neighbor that it is her noisy clomping up and down stairs that is the irritation and source of the complaint… not the forgetfulness. You have given Cricket the benefit of interpreting her behavior as having defused the situation with humor. But, it seems to me one could equally see her as having been no more successful as expressing herself authentically than the neighbor. That said, thanks for posting this. One way or the other, I think I got the deeper points you’ve made.
