I love you too much to let you stay broken

25 years ago, I created a program called Dare to Care – How to speak the radical truth with compassion.

The point was that if we care enough about someone, we will tell them the radical truth, ideally in a way that does not demean, belittle, shame or ridicule.

We often confuse love with being nice.

Love is courage. Love is wanting for the other great things, including being the most beautiful version of themselves. 

Radical truth is essential to healthy love.

Most humans want to be held to their best, to have people on their team who do not let them get away with BS, sabotaging behaviour. To do this with love, from love.

When I love you too much to let you stay broken, you may rebel against my words. You may rage. You may walk away. You may play up, resist, and throw tantrums. 

From love, across time, in time, the radical truth of love may reach you. I may not even be here when it does.

This is love. In service to you.

*Dare to Care is one of the foundational programs in Syntropic World. The next class is happening later in the year. https://syntropic.world/dare-to-care/
