This caught my attention–Am I listening from a place of detachment, trust and belief in the other person’s ability to find his own way?–because I’d noticed with certain people a high level of doubt creeping in, such as “does this stuff work?” It seemed to get in the way often. 2008 seems to have been about that in a big way for me. It was difficult to differentiate between my doubt & another person’s. Then I read today on a biz site how “uncertainty is our existence.” We can’t know everything – not even if something will work for ourselves or someone else. It’s part of growth.

To balance this, it seems that the last two bullets above are key.

Thanks for your continued insightful blogs!
