In contrast to what we often think and demonstrate, effective relationships are characterized by detachment rather than dependence. Forward, thus finding the place where visible action and results live. Thus, it is natural and in harmony with universal patterns. The challenge is to become both deliberate about choosing and disciplined enough to remember to practice what we think about. When we do, we can count on being able to make wiser more innovative decisions that favor all life.
All creation is invested in our success.
