A fighter pilot with a wing man must consider what his wing man might need as. Most of us really do not like confrontation. IF we do it, we do it only because we know that if we do not, things will get worse.

The problem is, if we choose to confront, we know things will definitely get worse in the short term. So, we sometimes make the choice to avoid the short term chaos, and adapt to the loss of freedom and future the abdication is sure to create. If you are a person who freezes up when someone is bullying you or changing rules you agreed to, it will not get. Fighting Futility with Energy!

Is Momentum forcing you in a direction you don't want to go, but you don't know how to stop? We often find ourselves in situations that seem and feel out of our control. We push and pull against the forces dragging us in a direction we do not want to go, but it doesn't work. Should we just give up and go with the flow? To do so can become a habit. It can also be self-destructive.

Assuming you decide not to give in, what can you do? Does it stop you from doing what you need to? Sometimes we fail to act on things that are inevitable because we are afraid of what is not known. When we need to quit a job, end a relationship, sever a connection with a doctor or dentist or other person who is woven into our lives, we often stall. Why do we put up with behaviors that upset or annoy us? Why do we live with others who abuse us, disrespect us, charge us too much? We do so because we do not know what will fill in the void that is created when we let go.

Get to the Point! Communications are often about how you think as opposed to what you want to say! Too many of us have a tendency to tell stories as opposed to tell people something of interest to them. Also be sure to ask yourself "why? What is it you are trying to accomplish? Very few people are totally engaged with what the symptoms of the present mean for the long term.

For example, if we look at the relationships we have had that did not work out personal and professional , the very things that would destroy the relationship were present from the beginning. Many times we are aware that these are potential de-railers, but the decisions we make are determined by how we rank the issues next to our desires for the relationship. Remember everything you do and think will come back to you. Are you doing the things you want to come back? Are you avoiding those you would like not to have come back?

Rationalizing is useless because the Karmic lawyers don't care!!! Sometimes the reason for built up anger is simpler than you think.

If you find you are overreacting to situations around you, ask yourself if you had a vision or expectation about this overall situation that is not being met. For example, did you think this job was going to be a big career booster and it's not? Is it possible that you thought this relationship was going to save you from something, and it didn't?

Did you sign on to work with a different boss and it chang. Why some end and others don't! Whether professional or personal, relationships constantly cycle through good times and bad times. Why do some of them last, and others do not? The word is "commitment". Some people are committed, for various reasons, to get through the tough times no matter what, while others may be committed to something less tangible. Because someone leaves a job, company or person, does not mean they lack commitment. It simply means they are committed to something different than the jo.

Listening to a group of executives debate the obstacles confronting their progress in a specific initiative, I was struck by the detail and the enormity of their struggle. It was easy to get lost in the facts and to get sucked into their feelings of frustration. They had arrived at a point where their concern that this was an insolvable dilemma seemed valid. They were not ready to give up, but certainly, they were becoming convinced that their efforts were not going to be rewarded unless someon. When a beloved pet unexpectedly passed on over the Holidays, I struggled to make sense of it.

Over a few days I realized that something interesting was happening to me. As I attempted to picture her in a new setting, I found that I had lost my feeling for the "hereafter".

Product description

Imagine that your most productive, engaged, harmonious life is like a straight road. When you turn off that road, you are creating a diversion or detour from your "best" life. The friction you feel is an indicatio. Does your mind spin in the middle of the night? You get to sleep just fine and sleep hard for a few hours and then You wake up and can't stop thinking about all the things you need to do, all the things you didn't do, and all the things that are going to "get you"!

What you say to yourself to explain why something negative is occurring or why you do not change things are often enlightening when you look at them through the eyes of a stranger.

If you start with an assumption that you are NEVER a victim meaning that no matter what, what is wrong is something you control , you begin to free yourself from your ruts. Remember that you are believ. Do you know when you are being controlling? It is usually true that you are being controlling if you are obsessed about the outcome needing to be your way.

Generally people use all sorts of tactics and techniques in order to force the answer to their specifications. No matter how smooth you are, controlling behavior is a sign of bad leadership and insecurity. In other words, you are using information that you possess to force this person into acknowledging your prowess or mistrusti. Kittens in the Box.
