Make a difference

Most clients I work with want to be able to make a difference in the world...

Many seem to strive for goals that are financially or ego defined successes... lots of money, satisfying relationship, good job, nice house, new cars...

and yet, those who have achieved those goals, they either seem to want more or something different... they keep searching as they are not yet satisfied... so, the natural impulse is to choose a different goal... as if it was the choice of goals they originally picked that were wrong!

What's wrong with this picture? Why doesn't this work? ... Could it be that the process is wrong?

Our need to search for ego satisfaction often comes from an underlying sense of emptiness or dis-connection with ourselves... and others... often experienced as a sense of lonliness.

Today... try a different process... practice altruism... do something for someone else without expection from them... make a difference in someone else's life ...

for as you lift others, you shall be carried.

Until later

It can also depend on the child’s gender and personality, the amount of conflict between parents and the support provided by friends and family.   One factor is clear though... the better you deal with your separation, the better your children will be!     Children 's Age   We know little about the effects of divorce on children younger than two or three years of age. Young children do not always suffer if a divorce occurs. However, problems may occur if a close relationship or bond between a parent and child is broken. Parents should agree...

Improve Your Relationships

What most people are longing for and yet feel is missing from their life is a good relationship. We yearn for "true" love or to be "in" love. Why is it that we have such a difficult time with this? Why are most problems we encounter in our lives about our closet relationship? We feel disconnected, negatively judged and critisized. We can feel adequate and competent in all other areas of our lives and not feel that way with our partners, parents, children, etc. Our focus is on what's wrong with me or what's wrong with them! Let's first look what factors are involved in what creates a positive and nuturing relationship... Primarily it seems important that we feel acknowledged and supported. If there is judgement, it is expressed and utilized in a positive manner. Feeling acknowledged allows us to hear "constructive critisism", it allows us to feel the information is being provided with good intent, not a reminder of our inadequacies. When this oc...
