À propos de cet audio
Our energy is limited and distributed across different responsibilities, affecting how we show up for ourselves and others. I explore how understanding someone's full capacity might change how we view their efforts, especially when examining our parents' choices through a more compassionate lens.
• The "energy percentage" metaphor explains how we allocate our finite resources across work, family, and self-care
• Most of us function with our energy spread thin across multiple areas (20% work, 30% kid, 10% marriage, etc.)
• When life becomes unbalanced, certain areas demand more energy, leaving little for other responsibilities
• The way we judge our parents may not account for their limited capacity and different generational context
• Just because someone only gives you 20% doesn't mean they don't care—it might be their full capacity
• Partnership means being aware of each other's battery percentage and adjusting with love
• Compassion for others begins with understanding that most people are doing their best with what they have
• Forgiving doesn't mean excusing harm, but recognizing human limitations
