The Willingness to Let Go of Negative Feelings

When we are operating on the level of acceptance, enjoyment, warmth, gentleness, softness, trustingness, inner truth, and faith, the emotional purposes to which the other person responds are those of love, enjoyment, pleasure, harmony, peacefulness, understanding, and sharing.  Their reaction to us will be one of acceptance, satisfaction, feeling “in tune,” feeling understood, and joy.  They will automatically return our love.  it is rather obvious that these reciprocal feelings bring about success in whatever the venture may be with the other person, whether it is vocational, personal or a simple everyday business interaction.
