E88: The Gift Of Allowance | Consciousne...

SHANNON O’HARA
About this episode

Are you in allowance?

Allowance is being the rock in the stream. 

Other people’s thoughts, feelings and judgements flow at you and you don’t get washed away with them, they flow around you. You’re not affected by them because you have no point of view, otherwise known as allowance. 

What gift can allowance be? 

The book “The Gift of Allowance” by Gary Douglas offers a set of simple tools for finding your own identity without being lost in the fog of others points of view about you and your world. Reading it and using the tools can change your life and allow you to determine just who you are and who you want to be.

Key takeaways:

  • Allowance is not being a doormat.
  • You cannot change someone else's point of view, only they can.
  • Love from no allowance is conditional love. Love from allowance is unconditional love, because you will love the person no matter how crazy they are.
