Time in Life: Endangered or Endless?
Time The meaning we’re giving the word ‘time’ in our lives is very ambiguous to say the least. On the one hand: We’re always ‘doing’. We’re always busy. We never have enough hours in a day. Everything needs to be done right now, today. We never stop. On the other...

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become” Carl Jung. Often people get very upset when you only even suggest, that what happened to them, does not need to determine how they feel. People blame. People keep repeating what happened to them. People keep...
Stop Stirring the Muddy Waters.
