Scheduling Family Meetings for Family Happiness

I just had an idea.

It is inspired by my experiences in resolving misunderstandings and hurt feelings with other human beings, as well as by my experience in guiding a team of employees in the business world.

The ideas is simple: in order for there to be happiness in a family, there needs to be regularly scheduled meetings between family members, for talking, listening to each other, sharing of feelings, and working out frustrations. These meetings should be pre-planned, otherwise they wont just happen of their own accord.

Just the act of talking and hearing each other out can untie so many knots of hurt, and release joy and a sense of security.

Learning how to communicate authentically, calmly and respectfully with our fellow human beings is one of the most important things we could ever learn.

From the soil of suffering... joy is possible

"I wake sweet joy in dens of sorrow and I plant a smile in forests of affliction, and wake the bubbling springs of life in regions of dark death."

- William Blake
