    Resolve the Top 10 Things Between You and a Great Life

    Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

    When I read Tracy A.’s newest piece, Top 10 Things Between You and a Great Life, it felt eerie.

    I thought, “This girl’s been reading my mail!”

    Because, at one time or another, I’ve fallen into every one of these traps. And I bet you have, too.

Just to remind myself of the tempting and almost automatic habits, cop-outs and defensive behaviors to work around.

    3. Avoiding rejection.

I’m not a big believer in jumping off cliffs and building wings on the way down; I just don’t believe that life has to be that frantic but I do know that my fear of rejection is one of the fears that I still struggle with and it’s been eye opening to take a look at how it really gets in my way.

    4. Procrastinating.

    We tell ourselves some fantastic stories to increase our level of comfort with not getting off our duff and going on there and really scuffling it up on the (more…)
