Foster Fear, Anger, Stress, and Depression.
In too many of our days we think that our circumstances dictate how happy we are. We have a world 'out there' that’s not right! What if that's not the way it is at all? Still, the thoughts in our head control our notion of what happens to us.
They Control Our Very Feelings?
We need more money . . . Our health issues are stupid . . . Our partner should change . . . We’re a failure . . . Our body is too fat . . . Our customers shouldn't talk back . . . Our father was cruel . . . The economy is bad.
Thoughts like these may run thru our mind hundreds of times a day. They foster fear, anger, stress, and depression. The most severe ones are automatic. We don't even know about them!
Let’s Use Humor and Lovingly Incisive Clarity.
We’ll show how we can label and question our stressful thoughts. They cause all the suffering and violence in the world. How can Our Grief Work bring us happy days?
We want to grow big in our personal power. We want to be of greater service to others. We want to find glorious new levels of inner calm. We want to go thru more joy in each day.

Scared or Disguted? Risk. Risk.
Take the Risk of Sharing Us.
Our ‘others’ love what we put forward as the genuine us. Still, we know that it's a facade. They think it's the genuine us! Our ‘others’ basically get to love (or not love) what we give them to love or not love. Are they wrong for loving what we ask them to love?
At some point we have to take charge of this choice. We learn to hide some or all of our true self from others. So now we’ll take a risk and show the real us.
Yes, maybe some our ‘others’ won't love us for who we really are. Yet if we don't come out of hiding, we can be assured that nobody will love us.
If we want to be loved for who we really are, we have to be willing to BE who we really are. We’ll share that with others. We take charge of - carry the burden of - conveying to others who our real self is. Is this scary and risky?
Sure. But it beats hiding our light!
