Avoidance, over time, shrinks your world & multiplies problems & pain.
Our very own internal feelings have become the ‘danger’ our bodies and minds desperately want to get rid of.
Learning to accept difficult feelings as a part of life is key to creating a rich life. And that does not mean to just suck it up.
The Choice Point is simple: every action moves you Towards your values or Away from discomfort.
Either we’re moving towards the kind of person we want to be and the kind of life we want to create — or we’re moving away from pain, struggle or discomfort — which also moves us away from the kind of person we want to be and the kind of impact we want to have in the world.
Here’s how to start choosing your values more deliberately.
Lost to Our Selves
Over the course of our lives — sometimes from a very early age — most of us lose some or most of our connection to our Authentic Self. To our true nature. To who we really are at the core.
Personal growth isn’t just about discovering who you are. It’s about recovering who you’ve always been beneath the armor, and adaptive protective patterns.
