No More Misunderstandings . . .

A rope, a hope, a beleif and a dream have one thing in common. They can only serve their purpose if held onto tightly.

For too often people lose hope, waver in their beliefs and give up on their dreams. Why? Because they allow themselves to hold onto other things instead. Self doubt, fear, anger and more are dream killers. They can suck the life out of hope. Yes these things can slip into our minds from time to time but here’s the difference. Do you simply acknowledge them as they pass through your mind? Acknowledge them while still holding onto your hope or your dream. Or do you let go entirely and grasp a hold of negativity with one and even worse, both hands? Many of my clients come to me with both hands wrapped around their anxiety, fear and anger. Through our work together, they quickly realize the rope they once held, the one they are holding onto, and finally how to grasp the one that will support them in moving toward happiness. What are you holding on to?

It is very difficult to guide a person who is more committed to being angry or afraid than to being happy.

It is unfortunate when I meet clients who have gotten to a point where they are so defeated by negative experiences that they conclude the world is committed to their unhappiness.  When describing their anger and fear they have plenty of fuel for being upset with the past. The challenge becomes helping them find the confidence in their ability to learn from it and not repeat it. The change begins by learning the tools that improve upon the ones they’ve always used that never worked. The tools that when they use them can help them experience results that had previously eluded them. When they apply what I teach, they learn, they grow and they find their happiness.
