The Healing power of “Sure”

It is with expanding joy that I announce that our new website is online !!!!
Below is a story- a precious unexpected gift I received while working with my web Developer/Designer.

The Healing power of “Sure”: 

I didn’t know Jonathan (The Web Developer/Designer) before starting to work on the website, which is a risky start for such a project. We embarked on a journey, being in a boat together for a whole year. While working together I realized something that was particularly meaningful to me:
Each time I asked him to change something on the website he said: “Sure”.
EACH TIME EACH TIME EACH TIME !

So often when working with people (builders, designers, doctors…), in a certain moment I start feeling a tension- Sensing that the other start to be irritated with further requests I am making. Often this tension/irritation arrives a long while before I am complete with the matter.

Jonathan says- “Sure”. Each time when I ask for a change- as if he knew and expected there will be more changes and requests to come, he receives each request with a little smile- “Sure”. This little word- SURE – relaxes every cell in my body, as: SURE Yoram you can change your mind, SURE Yoram you would like to get the details right.”
And it goes deeper: SURE Yoram you want to express yourself, be real and not hide parts of yourself. SURE Yoram you are welcome, come. SURE Yoram I will stay with you as long as it will take, until it is done, until you are complete, until you say YES. Sure Yoram, Sure.

And,
For those who know me, I find it so essential to be able to express “NO”. The beauty of “YES, SURE'” is not there to cover the importance of expressing “NO” when we do not experience a “YES” in us.

With much love for YES, and for NO,
Yoram
