I hear you. Sometimes the person on the other end is so difficult, their behavior or their crimes so heinous, that it’s hard to even think of them without feeling crappy. To genuinely find it within us to say “I wish you Happiness” without choking on the words seems just about impossible.
We talked about this way back in our exercise with Heart Feel when there’s circumstances where we couldn’t find willingness to understand someone else. The thing is – because of the ways that we feel our connection to others – our Happiness depends on it, our power to create and change the things we care most about depends on it and our ability to enjoy that journey utterly depends on it.
And who knows, the ripple effect could be even bigger than that.
Can you start by wishing that you were willing to understand them?
Can you wish that you could wish them Happiness?
Noticing your outward breath
and another…
and for just 30 seconds… Wishing that you could wish them happiness.
I’ve got a great story about how I discovered the power of this that you might hear in a live event some time. Feel free to ask me about it.

Retired greyhounds make such wonderful couch potato companions. The link to the info about the free live events if you need one, is under the photo below.
