Day 7--The lists
So, I've done the dare for today which is to create several lists, one with the positive qualities I see in my wife and one with the negatives. It was much easier for me to make a list stating Kendra's positive qualities. I didn't count, but i know I listed more than 30 qualities. She really does possess lots and lots of great stuff! I thanked her with a card that stated how much I appreciate her selflessness and dedication to her family. She is the rock and glue that holds our clan together. My negative list did include a few enteries, but as I focused on what I really believed was negative about her, I could easily see that they are also strengths. I just don't like them when they get in the way of the selfish Chad. While I'm not blind to her weaknesses, I will acknowledge that they tend to be around her emotions, which really are a strength. What I learned about myself today is I want to have a number 10 relationship with my wife and I'm committed to seeing her successful in her business and our love for each other grow. We were able to host some friends tonight and share our vision of a world free from disease. My wife was awesome and inspiring...

I'm laughing my ass off over here. What an insight.... "get in the way of the selfish Chad." If only we could all realize that we only get angry or resentful because of our own selfish wants and opinions.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me how often I get selfish myself with my loved ones when they don't see things from my point of view. Amazing blog Chad.
One question, you described your wife as awesome and inspiring. Can I ask you how that truly makes you feel - I love how many descriptive words about her you often use, but I'd like to know a little more about how those things make you feel - as a man and as a husband. What do those qualities in her really bring to your life? How do you benefit? Show me the deep side of Chad. Pretty please.... :)
That last one was from Jackie by the way, logged in as different profile... oops. :)
