Your job in life

Life is like a combination lock: your job is to find the right numbers, in the right order, so you can have anything you want.

Brian Tracy

Tip for connecting:

Learning to differentiate your thoughts. Purpose: to notice the source of your actions. Reason: Not everyone has the same past as you so cannot fit into your perspective! If you want to connect (rather than have conflict) it is important to notice the difference between your automatic response based on old stories and what is happening in the “now” ~ present moment.

Independence: The basics of developing support and fearlessness begins with connection to gravity

“What infants need is the opportunity and time to take in and figure out the world around them.” Magda Gerber

Story time: Your Story, my story, our stories

Change your story, change your life

We are our story and all our relationships will fit into the context of our story.
We are our story and our confidence will fit into the context of our story.

Notice how these early experiences now define your first reactions to any stimulus that you experience in your relationships. I refer to stimulus as anything that brings you from your center of peace and inner quiet. It will be what brings you into action or reaction.
