From Junk to Joy

Why Interacting with Magnificence is the Game-Changer We All Need

I want to share a powerful question that has resonated with me for over a decade: We humans hold each other "backwards."  We tend to INTERACT with the junk, with the "stuff" of each other and hold SPACE for each other's magnificence and beauty. What shifts in our interactions when we INTERACT with each other's magnificence and hold SPACE for all the junk?

 It's a simple question that carries profound meaning. Often, we find ourselves interacting with the junk, the surface-level aspects of each other, while failing to recognize and hold space for each other's magnificence and beauty.

Consider for a moment what would shift in our interactions if we chose to focus on each other's magnificence instead. How would our relationships transform if we held space for all the junk, the imperfections that make us human? These questions invite us to reflect upon our interactions and challenge us to create a more compassionate and uplifting environment.

Imagine a world where we interacted with each other's magnificence. In this world, we would be more inclined to see the best in each other. Our kindness, compassion, and understanding would prevail, fostering growth and harmony. We would build one another up instead of tearing each other down, recognizing and celebrating the unique qualities that make us shine.

Now, let's consider what holding space for all the junk means. By doing so, we cultivate patience, forgiveness, and understanding. We acknowledge that we are all works in progress, filled with flaws and imperfections. When we hold space for each other's junk, we create a safe haven where authenticity and vulnerability can thrive.

The impact of interacting with magnificence and holding space for the junk cannot be underestimated. It has the power to reshape our world into one that is more connected, compassionate, and loving. Together, we can foster an inclusive society where everyone feels safe, loved, and accepted.

So, I encourage you to embrace this perspective in your daily interactions. The next time you engage with someone, consciously choose to see their magnificence rather than focusing on their junk. Observe how this shift changes the way you relate to one another and the deeper connections it fosters.
