Sacred Hoop of Relationship

I am who I am

       "Please forgive me for sometimes not being the way you want me to be"

       These statements and the feeling they communicate (acceptance and compassion) are a very powerful way to defuse any argument or misunderstanding in normal everyday life.
       As aircrew,it's obvious we are (or have been) in the aviation business for everyone's safety and wellbeing.And people understand that.We're there to help people feel safe,comfortable,and treated with care and respect until they reach their desired destinations.And we're rewarded for that financially and in many other ways.We're paid to honour and respect people of all nations,creeds and colours.How wonderful is that?!
       However,it's useful to remember that many people in life are paid to treat others badly.They've had training of a very different kind in their working world,and they are even paid to be downright rude and aggressive.
       As aircrew,we  develop a pretty good sense of discernment around people;about who we can trust,and who we need to be extra careful around.And the way we treat everyone around us in daily life reflects that trust.And most people respond positively to that.
       So if you're in a situation in daily life that's not going so well,the above statement is a kind and compassionate way to keep the peace.Either that,or walk away.
