Cooperation is simply acting together for the common good of all concerned. Although it might sound good to you it is often difficult for some to get around this notion. Finding the proper balance to ensure good for all people can oftentimes be very difficult. Keep in mind in nature their are symbiotic relationships between unlikely allies and they seem to make it work. For example: a bee and a flower,a bird and a rhinoceros and fish and sharks.

So how can you learn to cooperate in the most challenging of situations?? First, you can get a greater understanding by putting yourself in the other persons shoes. If you search for commonalities not differences this will put you in a more cooperating mood.
Try to concentrate on the fact that there is more than one way to approach situations and personal and public goals. Let go of the necessity to be right. Always be kind in your approach to others.Believe in achieving a solution that benefits the others goals as well as your own. Your shift in perception will be part of the solution and then it is a win win situation for all involved..

It seems like the new generation does not have enough respect for their parents. They do not realize the sacrifices that are made in parenthood. They think that good times are the only thing that is important for them. The strong realization hits them when they lose their parents through an illness or other tragedy. The times that they spend with their parents are limited and do not ask for advice or help. When their parents are gone they wonder what their parents would say when they are in a difficult patch in their lives. If they only would connect and appreciate what they have when they have it much grief would be avoided and much wisdom would be the gift they would receive.

In other cultures parents are revered and treasured. Our culture has lost that concept and the children left behind have become devoid of spiritual strength in adversity as a result. The children that have the wisdom to understand the worth of their parents and appreciate them are indeed fortunate in the long run.

When you are thinking of having a gathering think of gathering people in a circle. The power of a circular shape is found throughout nature and it is a symbol of perfection. We make this perfect shape when we join others to form a circle. Being in a circle allows others to experience us as equals.. From tribal circles to the mythical round table of King Arthur the circle has been adopted by others in gatherings throughout history.

The circle is an archetype of wholeness and integration with the center to symbolize- the source. When a group of people come together in a circle they are united. This unity becomes more powerful if these people hold hands. This physical connection unites all that are participating, Because a circle has no beginning or end the agreement to connect allows the energy to circulate from one person to the next. The energy does not get disipated in the environment.
