You can never get enough of what you don’t need because what
you don’t need can’t satisfy you. If you need protein and eat Doritos to get
the protein you will be eating a lot of Doritos because you don’t need Doritos.
They can’t satisfy your need for protein.
I love this because it helps us react to someone’s needs
instead of someone’s behavior. Let’s say you have a person that seeks a lot of
undue attention. Their behavior can be annoying so we try to change it by saying
things like “do this” or “don’t do that… or else…” and in the end, this really
doesn’t work. But if we begin to meet their needs they will naturally change.
If you give an undue attention seeker love and make them feel like they belong,
their behavior will naturally change.
You can never get enough of what you don’t need because what
you don’t need can’t satisfy you. I ask you: what do you need? What are your
children’s needs? As you meet the needs pf people there behavior will naturally
change.
Very very true! It's that selfless thinking that helps us recognize someone else's needs over what we THINK their needs are.
ReplyDeleteReally great example with meeting people's needs! I totally agree, a lot of times parents will resort to what is easy and not what is right. Great job, Trent!
