Need for Consideration

I experience this as a sort of social confusion around what one is needing. I sometimes think that others may be trying to make my life wonderful but they are doing it without first having made contact with what need is alive in me. So maybe they are trying to contribute to my need for support or accomplishment when really want I’m needing is connection or just to be heard. How I wish they had slowed down and given me room to share what I was needing. Interestingly I find that tending to the need for consideration in others sometimes is the most reliable strategy for me to tend to the very same need in me. Perhaps that experience is also indicative of the reality that we all share in the same Life -- such that serving life in anyone ultimately serves Life in all of us.
