Seeking Common Ground by MW Hardwick
On the other side of alienation is belonging
On the other side of failure is challenge
On the other side of lying is truth
On the other side of vulnerability is trust
On the other side of losing is winning
On the other side of poverty is opportunity
On the other side of Yes, but…is Yes I can…
On the other side of fear is courage
On the other side of injustice is freedom
On the other side of racism is understanding and kindness
On the other side of scarcity and inequality is fairness and abundance
On the other side of stress is calmness and mindfulness
On the othe side of multi-tasking is being present in the moment
On the other side of “fixed and closed” mindset is “growth and learning”
On the other side of playing to lose is playing to win
On the other side of talent and gifts is effort and practice
On the other side of growing old is wisdom
On the other side of bull shit is data and truth telling
On the other side of stalemate and arguments is common ground
On the other side of fear is self-belief
On the other side of ignorance is is information and knowledge
Other side of why is why not…
On the other side of selfishness is empathy
On the other side of talking and telling is active listening then doing
On the other side of being “stuck” is unlimited possibilities
Other side of of nagging is caring
On the other side of anger is unconditional and genuine love.
Never give in to your dark side always be looking for hope and possibilities
On the other side of uncertainty is change
On the other side of darkness is the light of hope and faith
On the other side of greed is selflessness for others
On the other side of hopeless and being a victim is resilence and grit
Always be learning and moving forward it makes life more meaningful and purposeful. Accept life’s challenges, suffering pain by moving forward with caring love and service to others.
