When I work with someone, the aspects I focus on are the progress and the presence of attitudes and awarenesses that were not there before. For example, I tend to focus on the development of love, understanding and compassion, together with the action of doing more service work. My approach is very love and strength based. On the other hand, some other people notice what is missing, behaviors and attitudes that have still not developed. For example, the same person might still be relatively entitled, self-centered and lazy. Both views are totally accurate and valid. My preference is obvious.
