Being Fierce
Jerry+All
It’s Not What You Think
Jerry+All
It’s not yelling, pounding the table, being unreasonable or otherwise an ass.
Jerry+All
It’s being without deception.
Jerry+All
Being without deception is an extension of telling the truth: it is based on being truthful with yourself. When you have a sense of trusting your own existence, then what you communicate to other people is genuine and trustworthy.
-Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

The consequence of avoidance is an
exacerbation of problems and a destruction of trust.
Jerry+All
Why do we avoid fierceconversations?
Jerry+All
Fear
Jerry+All
Fear and a discomfort with feelings (ours and others’) as
well as a lack of understanding about how
communicate.
