I know a lot of folks who are learning about or working the law of attraction into their lives. The principles, just like the law itself, have been around for many years; they do work to manifest our intentions. I would also bet that many of you have read the books, focused your thoughts, and written them down. How many of you have felt disappointed if those goals didn?t manifest as you had hoped they would? http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/therapy-perception-change/ http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/therapy-perception-change/ Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:49:12 GMT Yesterday, I played the waiting game to get out of the airport parking lot. In the big picture, everyone had the same intention. But, even as drivers barked insults at each other, attached to ?their place in line? most missed how helping others reach their goals, would eventually help all of us get home. We had become so attached to ourperceptions that others were trying to get ?their space? that they had forgotten the power of the community to reach it. For, if we all cooperated, and let someone in front of us, the ensuing conflicts could have been avoided. But, because of those perceptions, what manifested in reality was the very cause and proof that we would get nowhere. http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychotherapy-dragonfly-trauma-relief/ http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychotherapy-dragonfly-trauma-relief/ Tue, 30 Nov 1999 06:00:00 GMT Yesterday, I played the waiting game to get out of the airport parking lot.

His energy sparkled and his spirit was pure; he was an ?old soul,? to say the least. As part of a ?quest? he was asked to bring back the answer to the question ?what is wisdom?? He waited patiently as my friend and I considered our reply. The answer was painstakingly difficult, and at best, only touched the surface of wisdom?s substance. ?Wisdom is knowing and doing the right thing, even if it is the hardest thing to do.? Off he went, and there we stood, dumbfounded. http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/traumatic-stress-part-1-the-doors-of-perception/ http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/traumatic-stress-part-1-the-doors-of-perception/ Tue, 30 Nov 1999 06:00:00 GMT At a recent event, I had the joy of watching a boy, no more than seven years old, exploring his world.
