The power of invitations

It’s an amazing thing – men seem to like invitations better than demands! Who knew? Something about pressure that shuts the heart down. Something about feeling like a disappointment that takes the fun out of playing.

My friends and I have been practicing the power of invitations. Not invitations that are really disguised demands. Invitations that say, I’m enjoying life, and I’d love for you to enjoy it with me. Not invitations that feel coercive. Initiations that leave complete freedom to decline. Not invitations that come from power. Invitations that come from love.

It’s amazing how powerful not coming from power can be.
