The freedom to be yourself underlies all your exchanges, bringing with it a relaxed, gentle kindness in the place of stress, pressure, anxiety or defensiveness
Timely and thought provoking article, as always. You are a constant reminder to me with regard to how I want to live. And the picture made me smile ear to ear. It shouts Freedom!
Hi, Phil. I'm just wondering how you see shyness as antithetical to peace. I am quite shy; this has always been my personality. It is not a chosen behavior or an attack on myself or others. Are extroverts better at fostering peace? Really curious!
Hi Karen, I was thinking of aspects of behavior that cause people problems. I think shyness can limit someone's possibilities; I often found parties filled with strangers an ordeal. Perhaps you're introverted, rather than shy. I am, and after a couple of hours at a party, I'm exhausted and ready to leave. As for peace, I think you need to be comfortable with your own company, and I'm inclined to guess that introverts fit that better than extroverts. Any extroverts here with a different opinion?! Phil

Intention is key. It’s something my partner and I talk about regularly. It creates transparency and trust.
Another great piece!
