Week 4 Readings MAC:The Art of Possibility

Being The Board
You do not blame others but take responsibility being the board on whom the game of lie is played. Take the attitude that whatever could go wrong will at the wrong time. That leaves us with the attitude of not blaming people but finding a way to comport ourselves. Good advice. But as the author presents it it seems nobody is to be blamed or take responsibility for their actions or inaction. I do believe that there is something called forgiveness. Forgiveness helps people see their faults and know they have been pardoned. Forgiveness allows the injured person to show love without being bitter in their hearts.This will be my approach and not to let people not take responsibility for their behavior.
Creating Frameworks for Possibility
Dreaming makes a difference, but takes courage to sustain it. By awakening affiliation and compassion in others, despite the circumstances we open the doors of possibility to others.
Reframing the meaning of a thing like baldness could inspire change in other people and free some from ridicule, like the teacher did for the girl who had undergone chemotherapy. Or like King Christian being the soldier.
“Purpose, commitment, and vision are distinctions that radiate possibility.” These forces that radiate possibility inspire people to create ideas that solve world’s problems.

Telling the WE Story
We all like the Jews and Arabs have a common heritage of being human. This commonness in our origin as human beings, should define our relationship with others and, not, they and us. The WE story is the unseen threads that influence our lives. The conflict resolution approach of I/ You causes more discord while the We approach gives room for consensual resolution of problems to the satisfaction of both parties.
