“Beyond ideas of right and wrong doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” — Rumi
When we label others as “good” or “bad,” we lose sight of what they are truly feeling and needing.
“Behind every judgment lies an unmet need.”
Comparing ourselves or others distances us from compassion and from our own authenticity.
“You don’t need to be like anyone else. You need to return to yourself.”
Saying “I have to” or “You make me feel” disconnects us from our inner freedom.
“Replace ‘I have to’ with ‘I choose to,’ and you’ll feel empowered.”
When we ask from guilt or fear, we sow distance instead of connection.
“Ask from the heart, not from power.”
“Every time you point out an error, you distance the heart. Every time you name a need, you bring it closer.” 💛
Founder of Nonviolent Communication, Rosenberg dedicated his life to teaching that language can be either a bridge or a wall. His mission was to remind us that the words we choose create our realities.
“Words are windows... or they’re walls. They sentence us, or they set us free.” 💫
