Most Learning Is Social, Or What I

None Of Us See The World As It Is But As We Are, As Our Frames Of Reference, Or Maps, Define The Territory.

Whenever You Experience Stress Of Any Kind, Look Into Yourself And Ask, In What Way Am I Compromising My Innermost Values In This Situation?

Independent Will Is Our Capacity To Act. It Gives Us The Power To Transcend Our Paradigms, To Swim Upstream, To Rewrite Our Scripts, To Act Based On Principle Rather Than Reacting Based On Emotion Or Circumstance.

Only After We Can Learn To Forgive Ourselves Can We Accept Others As They Are Because We Don't Feel Threatened By Anything About Them Which Is Better Than Us.

If I Really Want To Improve My Situation, I Can Work On The One Thing Over Which I Have Control-myself. I Can Stop Trying To Shape Up My Wife And Can Work On My Own Weaknesses. I Can Focus An Being A Great Marriage Partner, A Source Of Unconditional Love And Support. Hopefully, My Wife Will Feel The Power Of Proactive Example And Respond In Kind. But, Whether She Does Or Doesn't, The Most Positive Way I Can Influence My Situation Is To Work On Myself, On My Being.
