Boomerangs…and such

Recent ponderings…a merger of a two principles:

1. The Golden Rule (proactive) – do unto others as you would have them do to you
2. As you think you become…(proactive, +/or cause & effect)

As I have been studying the enneagram of late, I have been arriving at a few conclusions. If I am heading in the direction of disintegration…I need to turn around and head the other way! Simple enough.

If I fear abandonment, what is the opposite direction? Become loyal to others.
If I fear ridicule, what is the opposite direction? Respect others.
If I fear judgment, what is the opposite direction? Extend grace.
If I feel unloved / unwanted…be loving & helpful.

Crazy…

How many relationships within the workplace have blown up due to a breach of this simple principle?
