More quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
There are the two main reasons we don't get our needs met. First, we don't know how to express our needs to begin with and second if we do, we forget to put a clear request after it, or we use vague words like appreciate, listen, recognize, know, be real, and stuff like that.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Every moment each human being is doing the best we know at that moment to meet our needs. We never do anything that is not in the service of a need, there is no conflict on our planet at the level of needs. We all have the same needs. The problem is in strategies for meeting the needs.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
We want people to change because they see better ways of meeting their needs at less cost, not because of fear that we're going to punish them, or 'guilt' them if they don't. This applies to ourselves as well.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
We recognize that real educational reform is essential if today's and tomorrow's children are to live in a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
As radical as it may seem, it is possible to do things only out of play. I believe that to the degree that we engage moment by moment in the playfulness of enriching life- motivated solely by the desire for its enrichment- to that degree are we being compassionate with ourselves.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Enemy images are the main reason conflicts don't get resolved.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Don't hate the circumstance, you may miss the blessing
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Not getting our needs fulfilled is painful - but it's a sweet pain, not suffering, which is what comes from life-alienated thinking and interpretation.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
We can never make anyone do anything against their will without enormous consequences.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Get very clear about the kind of world we would like and then start living that way.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Our survival as a species depends on our ability to recognize that our well-being and the well-being of others are in fact one and the same.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
By maintaining our attention on what's going on within others, we offer them a chance to fully explore and express their interior selves. We would stem this flow if we were to shift attention too quickly either to their request or to our own desire to express ourselves.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
When we listen for their feelings and needs, we no longer see people as monsters.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
In NVC, no matter what words others may use to express themselves, we simply listen for their observations, feelings, needs, and requests.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
We use NVC to evaluate ourselves in ways that engender growth rather than self-hatred.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Staying with empathy we allow speakers to touch deeper levels of themselves.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
We're not taught to think in terms of needs. We don't make nice dead people when we're in touch with needs. Domination structures cannot maintain themselves when citizens are educated to be alive.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
When we are in contact with our feelings and needs, we humans no longer make good slaves and underlings.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
The most dangerous of all behaviors may consist of doing things 'because we're supposed to.
