Yin Yang Authentic Leadership

Over the next period of time I am going to invite you to take a journey with me from the old world of leadership, into a very new world of leadership.

We’re not talking about leadership as you have known it, but rather a distinct drilling down into the very soul of Authentic Leadership.

Let’s begin this journey with the word that can have so many meanings. This word often has a different range of means for those who hold the position, and for those who are guided by ones in the position. The word we must examine of course is Leadership.

When you think of leadership what comes up for you? Is it something you are comfortable or uncomfortable with?  I ask you this because as we move forward in this ever quickly changing world,  leading others will likely be required  for all of us in some form or another. That means that those who never expected to lead may discover that leadership is something they must step into.

When you think of leadership, do you immediately think of the leader of a nation, a corporation, an organization? Maybe you think more locally; being the leader of your community, or your Y.E.O. or Y.P.O group or even your parent-teacher group?

The dictionary definition of Leadership is: The position or function of a leader,  a person who guides or directs a group.

However, what may be worth considering is this; is the person who “directs the group” always the one with the title leader?

If so, is that person the one who is best suited to lead? I would suggest that is often not the case.

Even in the best of times, leadership quite naturally comes with its own set of challenges.  Those challenges are always intensified during challenging times.  We are seeing this today, where we are  at the opening to arguably one of the most challenging times in recent history.

Here at the brink, there is and will continue to be a unique set of stressors facing organizations, corporations, nations of the world and more importantly you and I. I say more importantly “you and I” because it seems to me that leadership in its present form is failing.  As a result many who never desired a leadership position are being required to step up.

The world we live in today, I believe calls for a renewed focus on what characterizes not only genuine, but Authentic Leadership. It seems that whether it be public, private and for that matter even volunteer organizations, the question of leadership is being brought to the fore. We are all being forced to address challenges that run the gamut from cutbacks and downsizing, to bailouts and corporate corruption and the personal and professional impact of such things on each of us and the lives of those we interact with.

Leadership for many meant “bottom Line” and the rampant greed that ruled the last half of the nineteen nineties and the first half decade of the new millennium has fostered what many believe to be an ethical meltdown. This is all fueled by a fear mongering media who feed us a fast diet of potential terrorism and economic turmoil.

In that time we have seen leadership look like something resembling an adolescent tantrum; “I’m in charge, I don’t care what anyone else wants and you better be on my side”. There was massive action and some would even call; courage.  However, this form of leadership often has a severe lack of intelligent consideration of impact on others.

We have also seen leadership that looked well thought out, articulately delivering big promises that raised hope in those who had turned their back on the system.  Sadly, this form of leadership has left many hugely disappointed as promises were broken due to what appears to be a lack of courage.

Both forms are egoic in nature. One driven to be bigger more powerful than anyone else, the other driven by the egoic need to be liked and approved of by all.

It seems clear; a new form of leadership needs to emerge.   I am calling this new form:

“Yin Yang Authentic Leadership”.

Yin-Yang being the balance between any two sides, understanding that there is value in both, and there is a constant state of motion between these two sides. In reference to the above mentioned  two types of leadership that we have seen over the last decade or so, that would be the balance between Intelligence and Courage.

That being said, please understand this is a many faceted discussion that will have personal, political and professional implications.  It is my goal throughout this series to deeply examine what leadership needs to become if we are to move through the times we are in and and come out on the other side not just surviving, but thriving.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you…

Freedom or Slavery, which would you choose?

You’re probably thinking that I’m an idiot for even asking. Maybe for you the answer, at least superficially, is obvious….Well maybe the answer is not as obvious as you would think.

I would put it to you that in order to be truly happy we must be truly free. However, what is freedom?

Here we are in the twenty first century and it is evident ( at least to me), how many people living in first world, democratic nations are living as slaves.

No, I’m not taking about slavery in the way we envision it in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. Nor am I addressing a conspiracy theories of dark overlords pulling political strings and subversively running a big-brother system. It would be easy to see it that way because a person could say it’s something they have no control over.

What I’m talking about is far more consensual and submissive…

Slavery is not necessarily got anything to do with chains around the ankles. Slavery is mostly about the chains of the mind.

It’s easy to assume that no one wants to be a slave. But is that really true?

When you think about it; many would say that there certain advantages to being a slave.

As a Slave:

• You are ruled by some version of “fear of loss”, so you never let yourself have anything you could lose

• As a slave: You don’t have to concern yourself with what to do, because as a slave you know that is someone else’s job, and not yours.

• Therefore you do only what is required of by your master.

• As a slave: You don’t have to push yourself to succeed because you already know there’s no place to go

• As a result; your basic survival needs are taken care of.

• As a slave: You don’t have to let down your guard and trust others because slaves live in “fear of loss”

• As a slave: You get to blame others for your problems

• As a slave: You get to whine about your situation while while claiming that you are impotent to change it.

• As a slave: You get to hold resentment, which supports you not trusting

• As a slave: You get to stay in victim mode, which justifies you not having or following your dreams.

As you can see: Slavery has its own set of advantages.

Like I said to be truly happy we need to be free. However, being free requires a considerable amount of mental, emotional, and even spiritually work and responsibility.

To become free we must dig a tunnel under the foundations of our own beliefs.

This takes a lot more consistent effort than staying in a comfortable mental jail, especially if there’s a nice car in the drive way.

Let me show you what I mean: Did you ever see the movie, “The Shawshank Redemption“? In the movie there is an old guy who has been running the library in the prison for many years. This guy has been in jail almost all his life. While he is inside, he and his fellow prisoner speak often and fondly about the day when they will be on the other side of those gates, the day when they will be free.

The years go by and finally the day comes and the old guy is released.  He steps onto the other side of the gate, he smells the fresh air. He gets a little job in a grocery store and he even has his own little apartment.  He’s finally free, he can eat meals of his own choosing, whenever he decides he wants to eat them. He can turn the lights on and off whenever he decides. He can walk outside anytime he wants to.  He is free!  Just  a few weeks go by and the news finds its way back to the prison; the old guy has hung himself, he couldn’t handle it out there!

Freedom is a foreign land to anyone who has always lived in slavery….  Therefore, a slave has to be prepared to learn how to live in freedom.

As a kid one of the first movies I saw in a cinema was with Charlton Heston as Moses in “The Ten Commandments.” In later life as I studied the bible I became particularly fascinated with the piece of that story that said: After Moses takes the Israelite’s out of Egypt they spent forty years wandering in the desert. I don’t think that they were wondering around for all those years because they had a lousy sense of direction, so there must have been a more important reason.

What’s fascinating is that during that time they constantly complaining and saying how they miss the food and other things they had while they were slaves in Egypt. They begged Moses to take care of them, and they even had several rebellions against him.

Let’s remember Moses is the fella who has climbed a mountain and been chatting with “The Big Guy”.  On many occasions he’s put his own life on the line in order to get these people out of slavery and now all they are doing is moaning, complaining and missing slavery.

It seems to me that they had to wonder the desert for forty years so that all the people who had only know slavery could die out and with it their slave mentality. That way those who would enter “the promised land” would never have lived in slavery and could actually appreciate their freedom.

Even today in a “first world”, “democratically free” country so many live as slaves.

The slaves of today are dress considerably better. Some of them even drive fancy cars and live in big houses… Yet so few people are really free!

When I look around I see people imprisoned in their jobs, their mortgages, their relationships and false obligations.

As I speak about in my upcoming book; “Don’t Read This…Unless You Want More Money” (Release date May 4th 2010) Freedom is possibly the most driving of all human desires.  Just stop for a moment and consider this because in one form or another I think you’ll agree; we are all in our own way, looking for higher and higher levels of freedom. That’s a good thing because it is our nature to be free.

There again, I ask you: What is freedom? And how would you know if you actually got it?

“That’s easy,” you say. “More money!” But is that it? Is more money really what freedom is? I doubt it.

Over the years, I have met and worked with people from all kinds of financial backgrounds. Some of the individuals who have hired me to take them from success to fulfillment and on to creating a legacy have more spending money a month than the average person has to keep a small family going for a year.

In my travels, I’ve met people who are so financially poor that the poverty line would be a giant step up on the income ladder. In both extremes, I have met people who were free and those who were far from free.

Money, I find, is rarely a guaranteed path to freedom.

I want to challenge you to look at how you would know if you were free, and how you may be in some form of servitude.

“Money will not solve all your problems, make you more spiritual or bring you eternal happiness, but there again, neither will financial struggle.” ~Dov Baron…

I look forward to hearing your comments and feedback.

With gratitude,

What does it take to shift from feeling and experiencing financial panic to feeling and experiencing financial flow?

“I can still remember being a child hiding with my mom and siblings as the rent man would bang, bang, bang the door knocker…

Our hearts would race, afraid to so much as breath for fear of being heard.  Facing the rent man without the rent meant the potential for homelessness.”

You know what’s fascinating– my mother always made sure the rent was paid, even if it was late. We were never evicted or homeless, and yet for the first twenty plus years of my life at the end of each month, as rent day came approached I carried that childhood anxiety with me.

As many of you know, right now we are running a FREE tele-seminar series for our upcoming Quantum Wealth Mastery program which is taking place in Vancouver September 25-28th.

Even if you cannot attend the live event, let me encourage you to attend the tele-seminars. We’ve already had one, and the feedback was excellent and we have got two very exciting ones coming up.
There’s loads of great material in each of these tele-seminars. Material you can’t afford to miss.

What’s more is, if you are running some old crap about money in your head and the crap has got you feeling anxious, these tele-seminars will certainly help you get off that “highway to hell.

So, let’s start getting your financial vehicle turned around… and pushing you down the road at high speed to new and better beliefs about wealth. We’re going to do this by first examining the unconscious beliefs that may have been in the way of your abundance.

Remember I’m not going to get anything out of this, but it has the potential to turn everything around for you. So, please do yourself a favor. Get out a pen and pad and  answer the following questions.

Even if the one or more of the questions below don’t make sense right away, stay with it! The answers can help uncover the reasons why you aren’t experiencing the financial abundance you deserve. One warning:
Be Perfectly Honest!

• Are you rich because you have money or do you have money because you’re rich?

• Are you poor because you don’t have money or don’t you have money because you’re poor?

• Are you struggling with money and because of that money is struggling to come to you?

• Are you more committed to having to struggle more than you are committed to having money?

• What would money give you that you want?

• What would money give you that you don’t want?

• What does struggling financially give you that you don’t want?

• What does struggling financially give you that you do want?

Please remember, you can lie or tell the truth, it’s your call.
You can BS me or someone else, but ultimately you can’t BS yourself.

So, dig in, answer the questions.
I’m guessing you’re in for a surprise or two or eight. Enjoy the ride!

I look forward to your feedback.
Until next time, live with courage. Dov…

P.P.S. Want to hear the last one?

Have you ever been to the desert? The desert is an enigma!

Get there in the middle of summer, the ground is cracked and dry, and if there is a breeze it is a hot one that whips up the top layer of what was soil and turns it into burning dust. Sometimes, years lapse between rainfalls. Can you imagine how dried up and lifeless the desert appears after two, three, five years without rain?

Having visited the desert in the summer and observed the lifeless landscape, it seemed unbelievable when I was informed that in spring, there would be an abundance of flowers…It seemed as unrealistic as a person looking at their empty bank account and trying to believe that there would be an abundance of funds flowing into it soon. There again:

The dreamer cannot explain the process of dreaming to one who refuses to dream.

Can you imagine, I actually went back to the desert again in the spring, and it was breathtaking! Where there had been dried up lifeless dust just months before now flourished with streams and a blanket of the most magnificent colored flowers as far as the eye could see. I even remember seeing a tree that on my previous visit had been curious about how long it had been dead. If it wasn’t for it precise location, I would not have believed I was looking at the same tree. It was miraculously transformed as if the metaphorical hand of God had reached down from heaven and brought it back to life creating leaves that glistened from collected dew, flirting with the dance of soft pedaled blooms, out of this world!

However, standing in the desert on a hot summer’s day it can be hard to believe all kinds of things like: The temperature will drop towards freezing at night, streams will run through, flowers and life in so many forms will wash across what looks like desolate land. Even so, all these things do happen, and they happen almost every year.

The desert, like you, is filled with limitless potentiality for that abundance, which given the right circumstances, transforms from bare ground to overflowing wealth.

My question to you are: What magnificent abundance waits within you?

What massive level of success is waiting to show up given just the right circumstances?

Over the last five or six posts I have read some amazing, vulnerable and powerful feedback from you guys and gals. I have to tell you that each and everyone of your responses is to me a sweet smelling flower in the desert and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your impact and both me and your fellow reader.

Once again, I look forward to your comments and feedback.

Until next time live with courage, Dov…

I want to share with you the secret to becoming lucky.  But first, I like to think I have a good grasp on who my readers are, and so with your permission, I would like to ask you a couple of questions, if that’s okay with you.

Let me start here:  How many times have you been told, in one form or another, that someone has some kind of magical solution to your problem?  You know what, you don’t need to answer that; the truth is it’s probably more often than you can count with infomercials, commercials, web pages, and goodness knows what else.

Over time, we’ve all been bombarded with magical solutions:  Everything from something that will cook your chicken in record time, slice a can and your tomatoes without even dulling your blade,  magic weight loss pills, instant hair for your bald spot, instant hair removal for your hairy spots, penis enlargers, breast enlargers, tummy tuckers, butt lifters, blenders that do everything but clean your bathroom floor, and a myriad of other miracles for just three easy payments of… The problem is that even if something is of genuine value, most people have been so soured by the smooth talking commercials that we can’t recognize true value anymore.

The question is this:  Is there something you can trust to actually deliver what you want? The answer is YES! However, don’t panic, I am not going to sell it to you, and in fact, neither can anyone else.

My guess is that if you are reading this, (which of course you are), you have at one time or another felt a bit ripped off by someone’s magical promises and as a result you are smart enough to have done your research and analysis of what’s being offered to see if it is going to truly be of genuine assistance, right?

My guess is that the reason you even purchased some of the things is because you had a problem and you wanted a solution.  Simple, right? I would guess that you pride yourself on being open-minded. You’re likely someone who feels they have at the very least a fundamental understanding of the way life works and you now understand that it’s your time to step up, make things happen, and as a result others likely look to you as a leader. Again, am I right?  If I’m at least somewhat on target, then there’s a good chance that you are committed to making a difference not only in your life, but also in the lives of others.  Again, if I’m at least somewhat right, please read on.  If not, you can go read something else and I promise to take no offense.

Now let’s get back to the thing you can trust to actually deliver what you want…even though I already told you that I can’t sell it to you, it does have a price, in fact there are three accumulative prices and for many these prices will just be too high.

Let me give you a clue to what it is:  Here’s a riddle for you:

What’s the one thing you can allow to be stolen from you and never be able to get back?

TIME!

Time is one of the prices you will have to pay, it’s not the only price, but it’s the first one.  To get what you want in life, whether you’re using magical weight loss pills or anything else, it all takes a certain amount of time.  To get what you want in life, each day you will have to dedicate some time to getting ‘it.’

The second price you must pay is one of an emotional investment.  Simply going through the motions is not enough! You must do what you need to do to get where you want to get and you must do it with absolute PASSION!

The place where this can get tough is there will be days when you feel like the results will never happen and on those days you must find the way to apply even more passion.

The third price you will need to pay is the one so very few are willing to invest and that is the price of:

‘Action in the Face of Ridicule.’

‘They’ will ridicule you; they will say you are crazy; they will laugh at you for putting in the time and doing so with passion.  And worst of all, ‘they’ will likely be the people who ‘love’ you.

Why will they do that?  Well, there are many reasons that I don’t have space to deal with right here, but what I can tell you right off the bat is they will ridicule you because they too have been sold the idea of magical thinking, where everything appears supposedly without any effort and if it doesn’t, it’s just not worth it.

Know this, while you are driving to your dreams there will be times particularly at the beginning where they and maybe even you cannot see the results you are looking for. However, if you are truly on your path and you are paying the price, you will know that what they are looking to see and cannot yet see in the outer world is already 100% real in your inner world and it’s just a matter of ‘time’ before it shows up in your outer reality.

But, beware!  As they sit there holding on to their mediocrity and minimizing everything you do and telling you to stop dreaming, when what it is that you have been investing in with your time, emotional energy, and your willingness to face disapproval does show up, they will call you ‘lucky.’

They will not understand and neither should you try to convince them for…

The dreamer cannot explain the process of dreaming to one who refuses to dream.

You can describe swimming to someone who has never swam but that’s not the same as diving in, feeling the rush of the water against your skin, hearing the sound of your own body submerge into the muffled silence as the taste of the ocean washes across your taste buds.  There is no explaining to those who are not willing to experience.

On your journey away from the town of mediocrity to the top of Dream Mountain, there will be things that become dead weight that you can no longer carry. Endless hours of watching TV, gossiping about celebrities you actually know nothing of any substance about, eating rather than dealing with emotions, and as you will discover for yourself, a myriad of other things will just fall away.

When you start achieving what you want in life they will say; “you’ve changed” and you may be tempted to say; “No, I haven’t.”  Please don’t do that to yourself!  Say “YES I have, and thank you for noticing.” The fact is, you are changing and change is a natural part of being on the planet and those who complain that you’ve changed are clearly trying to hang on to some glory days gone by.  Maybe a memory of being the hottest kid in school, 10, 20, or however many years ago or maybe some other past glory.

The path to fulfilling your dreams is not for the weak.

The path to your dreams is in fact the hero’s journey and it can be a lonely one unless you seek out fellow travelers. Fellow seekers who have also invested their time, their passion and they too have been ridiculed for being a dreamer. Those who walk this path successfully find fellow travelers to support their journey.

Look, here’s what I found: When you invest the three things I’ve outlined here: Time, Energy, and the Willingness to Face Ridicule, it will appear that you get ‘lucky’, that things appear to happen magically for you.

What you will know is the truth: You got “lucky” because you did what it took.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

Until next time; live with courage, Dov… 

Was he a genius singer, songwriter, and dancer?  Or was he just Wacko Jacko?  Maybe he was a deeply loving father who was also possibly a child molester?

Let me be clear, I did not personally know Michael Jackson. I never met the man and my opinion of who the man was  is only as informed as all the other people out there with an opinion. Let’s face it, opinions are like noses; almost everyone has one.  It is for this very reason that I’ve decided to write this article.

What I will say is this; I refuse to see Michael Jackson through a single lens.  A lens given to me by a bias media feeding frenzy who just a few years ago tortured Michael with a complete lack of privacy, judging his every action as that of someone who was “wacko”. The same media today deify the man with 24-hour news coverage.

Was Michael Jackson a Master, a Monster, or simply a Man who we saw through a distorted lens?

The simple truth is that, I like you, during my life,  have suffered the cruelty of those who were only willing to see me through a single perception of who I am.  Over the years I have worked with many people who have battled to be seen as more than fat, thin, ugly, too pretty, too smart, too dumb, too young, too old, or some other limiting idea . Each one of these people, just like you, was far more than the labels put upon them.

While walking down a busy street with a friend of mine chatting and laughing,  I suddenly noticed someone I knew approaching us. This person seemed to recognize both my friend and me.  The person approaching nodded a cool hello and carried on.  I thought little of the event until two days later when I was on my own and bumped into the same person who had given us the cool nod.  This person walked up to me and said:

“How can you be friends with Joe, (alias for my friend), he is such an ass?”

My answer was simple: “I have no idea who you are talking about.” This guy said; “yes you do, I saw you with Joe the other day.”  I reiterated: “I have no idea who you are talking about. Yes you saw me with Joe but I have no idea who the ass is you are referring to.”  This guy then seemed to feel it was his duty to fill me in on all Joe’s faults.  I quickly interrupted him and said: “That’s not my experience of Joe and your experience is your own. I will not judge Joe by any other experience than the one I have with him.”

Michael Jackson arrived in most of our lives via ‘the box’, as we watched glued to our TV sets; we saw a very young and extraordinarily talented kid sing, dance, and warm our hearts.

Most people only knew Michael through that same box and on June 25th, 2009 it was that box that told us of his death. On July 7th, 2009 Michael appeared one final time in another box, his casket, and the world said it’s goodbyes to a man they once called the ‘King of Pop’. Michael Jackson came to us via a box and like most of us will, he also left in one.  However, it is up to each and every one of us to decide if we will keep him in ‘the box’ we were sold him in.

Michael Jackson was clearly an outstanding talented man at what he did for a living; he was not an average guy with a 9-to-5 lifestyle. But, let us not forget that even the average guy deserves to be seen through more than a single lens. Human beings are much more than the boxes we like to put them in…

We are all multifaceted beings whose many sides are impossible to see if we’re busy standing in judgment of a single facet.

There’s a good chance that even though you are reading this I don’t personally know you.  Nonetheless, how would you feel if someone judged you, put you in a box through a single facet of your life.  IE: “Oh you’re a stay at home mom, so obviously you’re a…” Or, “Oh, you’re in the banking business, obviously you’re…”  Is this kind of thinking any different than judging a person by their colour, creed, or religion?

Prejudice is prejudice.

One type of prejudice is not better or worse than another.

What prejudice is at its very roots is the inability to see a person as a whole that contains many parts.

Furthermore, prejudice is judging someone through a myopic single lens that blinds us to the beauty of who they are above and beyond that narrow view we have decided is the only representation.

There was a time when the media said Michael was a child molester and you may have heard that and agreed. After all, the evidence we the public were fed was incriminating.  But, let us also remember that at his memorial his daughter Paris said:

“I just want to say; ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine.  And I just wanted to say, I love him so much.”

My final words on this are simple: I did not know Michael Jackson. I only have my very limited experience of how I choose to have his life impact mine.

I cannot and will not judge the elephant by its tail alone.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

Until next time live with courage, Dov…

That being the case it’s certainly worth our examining the relational foundation of life.  Look, you know as well as I do that almost everyone who has ever been through a relationship will have quite naturally gone through a break-up.  That being said, it’s in your best interest to consider what part you played in the relationship’s end, and when I say relationship break ups,  I am in no way limiting that to romantic relationships.

So, let’s briefly go on a voyage of discovery and peek inside the minds of the people around us for some real life examples of some of the limiting beliefs and behaviors that directly affect relationships.

There’s a good chance that you know at least a handful of people who feel that the people they are surrounded with are not really there for them. You know what I mean, right? You get the impression that they hear what you are saying, but aren’t really listening — that they ‘don’t get you‘.

Maybe sometimes you might feel that you can’t be honest with the people around you because you’re afraid that if you spoke your truth you may hurt their feelings, or end up getting hurt yourself.

I’m curious; have you ever considered how many people are afraid of being honest with themselves because they are scared stiff that the truth would be to painful to face?

Why can it so often be so hard to have honest relationships even with ourselves? Well, keep reading I’ll get to it in a moment, but first….

Let me be straight with you: Relationship, as I said earlier is one of the great foundations of life, and if we don’t master that foundation there is always a sense that something is missing.

One sure-fire way to tell that you have not mastered your relational foundation of life is if you’ve ever felt a certain ‘disconnection’ from the people who surround you. Moreover, there’s a strange feeling that many of your relationships are actually based on obligation — a sense that you must participate ‘or else’– rather than a conscious choice, and this is a massive sign that your relational foundation is out of whack.

I’m sure you can feel that, the people we surround ourselves with have a profound effect on every aspect of our lives, that we are a part of a collective consciousness. Those who surround us affect many areas we don’t consciously think about, including, but not limited too; how we feel about ourselves, how we feel about our circumstances, the decisions we make and what we end up believing we deserve and therefore what we attract into our lives.

One of the most challenging things we can face, is to be on a path of consciousness while having no conscious community…

It’s like trying to stay sober while living in the pub.

To stay committed and connected to your life’s purpose you must surround yourself with a conscious community who get you and also get why personal growth is so important. That community needs to have a collective consciousness that upholds you in a safe place to grow.

This of course is why Baron Mastery University.com was built.  (In case you don’t know, for a short time we are opening the doors to Baron Mastery University.com to invite other conscious and growth oriented individuals in. Just send an email to admin-at-baronmastery.com and put “requesting a BMU.com invitation”  in the subject line.

Back to the Relational Foundation: One of the liberating benefits of mastering your relational foundation is that you happen to find yourself constantly surrounded by loving people who love you: people you respect deeply, and in turn, people who deeply respect you. By mastering your relational foundation you will establish healthy boundaries with everyone around you. You will also have the kind of honest relationships you’ve always wanted with both yourself and with others.

Take a breath because here’s the deal:

Once you are the master of your ego-mind’s fixed ideas about relationships…  you are not willing to put up with any crap!

When you have mastered the relational foundation of life; you don’t put up with being pushed around, and you don’t put up with people trampling all over your boundaries! Not only do you confidently speak your truth, you speak it while being open and compassionately able to hear someone else’s truth without the fear of hurting anyone and without the fear of being personally rejected!

Now come on, be honest, how does that sound? Tell me, how bad do you want to be able to do that and be that way?

One final staggering comment on this foundation. By mastering your relational foundation, you learn to eliminate all fear in relationships so that you can experience love in its fullest form. Need I say more?

Once again this piece is based on The relational foundation of life as featured in my book… “Don’t Read This…your ego won’t like it!” (Which you can find by clicking on the products tab above)
