How many different ways do we as human beings ask the same question?
Am I worthy?
Do I matter?
Am I normal?
Am I special?
Am I important?
Do I make a difference?
Do you love me?
From one of my favorite broadway musical-turned-films, Fiddler On The Roof:
How would our relationships with others be different than they are now if we (and they) knew the answer was yes?
When I imagine this other universe, I’m astounded by the changes I can envision. I invite you to play the game. Imagine your interactions during the day with the people in your life — from the seemingly meaningless (like your mailman) to the seemingly important (like your spouse or your boss). What differences do you notice when you believe the answer to the question, “do you love me” is “yes?”

My husband I and sort of half-joke: “if you can take something I say two ways, assume I mean it the good way.” Sometimes it’s dreadfully hard to do, but those times I remember and heed this advice, it makes things sooooo much easier.
And I try to apply it to other people and other situations, as well.
That’s great food for thought, angela. I’m going to play with that one myself.
