During this holiday season take a moment to PARTICIPATE in the wonders of the life around you.
PARTICIPATION is the key to harmony. This Principle makes it possible to engage, communicate and relate to others, no matter the circumstances. When we all share our ideas and opinions, the possibilities for solutions expand. In the previous chapter we learned that the best solutions are found when everyone’s contributions are encouraged and respected. Many people, however, are reluctant to express their opinions or ideas, whether it is in a personal relationship, or as a member of a larger group. In other words, they don’t participate. It is not difficult to see how holding back our opinions and ideas can result in resentment and discontent. Incorporating this Principle of Participation into all our affairs is like opening all the doors and windows to let in the fresh air.
