Can You Find Enlightenment in the Trunk of Your Car?

I don't know about you, but I hate losing things. Losing things wouldn't be so bad if finding them wasn't such a chore. There's always the chance you'll never find what you were looking for. I was in this exact predicament today. I was at a store purchasing screwdrivers. I know, not the most exciting thing in the world, but it had to be done. I knew what store I was going to because I have their store credit card and also earned rewards to use for the purchase. I just couldn't find the credit card.

Afraid to Succeed

Unlike fear of failure and fear of rejection, being afraid to succeed can be far more insidious because it is almost always unconscious. Fear of failure is one of the greatest blocks to success, in every aspect of life. Everyone is closely familiar with fear of failure on some level. The fear of failure is closely related to fear of criticism and fear of rejection. Much like the fear of failure, the fear of success creates anxiety due to the fear of not knowing and not being certain of what will happen next.

What Anger Management is Not

Today I was reminded of my own anger while driving.I don't get angry that easily or that often. Luckily I know what tools work for me when I start noticing anger wanting to show it's ugly face. Like I've told many clients, it's called Anger Management, not Anger Cure. This is an important distinction to make. Anger is not something you're going to cure.

This is why it is called Anger Management.
