MANY OF OUR CURRENT THOUGHTS, BEHAVIORS, AND ACTIONS, WHICH SEEM NEW, AND SEEM TO BE RELATED TO CURRENT EVENTS, IN REALITY ARE NOT NEW, AND HAVE DEEP ROOTS IN OUR PASTS.
We do not have as much free will as we think that we have.
Our pasts NUDGE us into repeated patterns of thoughts, behaviors and actions.

WE CANNOT READ ENOUGH, WATCH ENOUGH, LISTEN ENOUGH, ASK ENOUGH, OR KNOW ENOUGH BEFORE TRYING SOMETHING NOVEL. THERE WILL BE SO MANY VARIABLES, NUANCES, SURPRISES, TWISTS AND TURNS THAT WE CANNOT BE FULLY PREPARED FOR AND TOTALLY COMFORTABLE WITH, OUR FACING THE UNKNOWN.
Get your support and your resources ready, so that you can turn to them for help, while still pressing onward.
Backtracking, waste, unexpected expenses, tears, anger, hopelessness (not helplessness) and frustration are signs of lessons and learning, not signs of ultimate failure.
Load your mind with pertinent/ focused knowledge, guidance and information. Then make an honest effort. Temporarily wallow in the unpleasantness of not succeeding. Go back and read, listen and ask, now in a more focused manner. Next, SLEEP ON IT! You will receive insights, new directions, and renewed energy to feed your progress.

DO NOT LET OTHERS ROB YOU OF YOUR ENERGY, YOUR TIME, OR YOUR SANITY BECAUSE YOU AWAIT THEIR SCHEDULE, THEIR SAY, THEIR JUDGEMENT, OR THEIR APPROVAL. TAKE THE HARDER ROAD OF PRESSING ON, DESPITE THE LACK OF SUPPORT. STOP WAITING, STOP BEING WISHY-WASHY, STOP STRADDLING THE FENCE. MAKE A DECISION, THEN MAKE A MOVE IN KEEPING WITH YOUR CHOICES. GET UNSTUCK, AND ACCEPT YOUR CONSEQUENCES.

PREDICTIONS NEED TO BE DOCUMENTED IN ADVANCE AND HAVE A TIME ELEMENT (A TIME LIMIT) AS PART OF THE PREDICTION.

THE CRAZINESS NEEDED TO GET THINGS DONE…
It used to be that some patients, in order to qualify for bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery), would have to gain weight in order to obtain a high enough body mass index, (if they didn’t have other, weight related diseases such as hypertension or diabetes), in order to qualify them for this life-saving surgery.
When a person is looking for financial support, when divorcing a spouse, often, their attorney will tell them not to obtain a job until child support and spousal support has been determined, or a settlement has been reached.
Also, during divorce proceedings, at times, a partner/ spouse will be told not to separate by moving out of the house, for fear that this looks as if this move could be interpreted as abandonment of shared property.
Often it takes up to 2 years to qualify for, and receive payment after, applying for full and permanent disability. During this time, and often, for years afterwards, this disabled person is afraid of being caught performing non-job related tasks for themselves, or for others, for fear that, if caught, s/he may lose their disability status.

WHEN DID WE GET TO AN AGE WHERE MUSCLES AND JOINTS HURT SO MUCH THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE A PLAN IN ORDER TO BEND DOWN TO PICK UP SOMETHING OFF OF THE FLOOR?

ANCHORING IS A TERM USED IN NEGOTIATIONS AND SALES WHERE AN OFFICIAL SOUNDING OR OFFICIAL APPEARING INFORMATION (e.g. PRICE) MARKS WHERE NEGOTIATIONS SHOULD START. A PRIME EXAMPLE IS MSRP (MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE) ON AN NEW AUTOMOBILE’S WINDOW STICKER.
Anchoring may appear to have foundations in objective reality; a reality which is assumed can be shared. However, with a small amount of investigation, it can be revealed that certain assumptions and expectations favor one party over another.

THE PROBLEM WITH LIFE’S PROBLEMS IS THAT THEY ROB US OF OUR WIDE-EYED NAIVETY AND CHILD-LIKE INNOCENCE. MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, WE CAN NEVER GO BACK.

TOO OFTEN, THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW YOU, LOVE YOU AND CARE ABOUT YOU, CANNOT STAND, AND WILL NOT ACCEPT, TO HEAR YOUR TRUTH, EVEN WHEN YOU TRY TO GARNER HONEST SUPPORT BY SHARING YOUR DISTRESSING AND UNPLEASANT TRUTHS/STORIES WITH THESE CARING PEOPLE.
