Greg Baer once said in a seminar that we only grow when we hurt each other. It's a part of the human experience. We are not perfect and we will make mistakes that cause others to hurt and other's will hurt us.

People are starved for love. Starved to the point of ruin, anxiety, lonliness, disorders and addictions. Every day people come to me spiraling out of control and beg "please help me". I love them and support them. I give them loving guidance and tell them all the same thing. The thing that is hardest for every single one of them. Tell the truth! Truth>Seen>Accepted>Loved The one thing that everyone needs most to do, they can't do it. Why would you not want to be happy and GO AFTER IT WITH A VENGENCE!

There is never a fourth choice. People have the right to choose what they say and do. We do not get to control the choices of another person—even when we know our way is better—and they don’t control our choices. A relationship is the natural result of the independent choices we make. If we are unhappy with a relationship, we have three options: 1) Live with it and like it, 2) Live with it and hate it, 3) Leave it. Controlling the other person violates their right to the Law of Choice. Changing the other person is not a choice.

Real Happiness comes from "feeling" our feelings. Quite literally. If you can track your feelings they will reveal the lies and expectations that shackle us to our unhappiness. So they are a gift. The greatest learning and light comes in those moments of shear consciousness of "what our feelings mean". So feelings are an indicator of where we are at AND what we need to change. Change comes from not being afraid of our feelings.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Sharon Winningham, CRLC

Real Love Melts Monsters!

Read the book "Real Love" and take advantage of the resources on www.RealLove.com, where you will learn the principles that will make dramatic changes in your individual life and in all your relationships.

Coaching with Sharon Winningham you will learn answers to the following questions:

  • What is the real cause of anger and conflict in relationships of all kinds?
  • What is the real cause of fear and anxiety in our individual lives and in our relationships?
  • What can we do to eliminate anger and confusion in our lives and replace them with peace and confidence?
  • How can we respond in healthy ways to the anger and criticism of others?
  • Why do we often feel helpless and victimized, and what can we do about changing these destructive feelings?
  • What is the real cause of compulsions or addictions in our lives, and how can we respond to them in healthy ways?
  • What can we do to find genuine and consistent happiness, in and out of relationships?

In order to be happy, what we all want more than anything else is to feel loved. Even the Beatles knew that "All you need is love" but not just any kind of love will do. We need Real Love, unconditional love. It's Real Love when other people care about our happiness without any conce for themselves. When we make our foolish mistakes, when we don't do what they want, or even when we inconvenience them personally, they're not disappointed or angry.

Sadly, few of us have received that kind of love with any degree of consistency. Instead, from the time we were children, we saw that when we were "good" (when we behaved in the ways that other people liked) we received a great deal of approval in the form of smiles, kind words, pats on the back, and so on. We also saw, however, that when we were "bad" (when we were loud, ungrateful, disobedient, and otherwise inconvenient) the signs of approval were replaced in an instant with frowns, facial expressions, and tones of voice that clearly expressed disappointment, disapproval, and irritation. From those patterns of behavior we learned this powerful lesson: When you're good, I love you; when your not, I don't.

In the moment, we forget that no matter how good Imitation Love feels—praise, power, pleasure, safety—it always wears off and leaves us empty.

Our mission is to bring people together, enrich people's lives, and ultimately make the world a better place.

We celebrate diversity with loving hearts!

How do I do it?

If you have a desire to acquire more Real Love—and in the process find great personal happiness and more fulfilling relationships than you ever thought possible—I suggest three approaches that I will describe in ascending order of effectiveness and difficulty.

Before describing these approaches, however, let me compare finding Real Love and genuine happiness to the physical training of an athlete. Suppose you wish to become minimally fit, just a step above couch potato. In that case, if I were your trainer, I would prescribe a minimally rigorous course of physical exercise—perhaps a few trips to the mail box each day. If you wish to become thoroughly fit, however, I would prescribe a strenuous course of exercise.

The higher your goal of fitness, the more work will be involved.

The same is true with finding Real Love and genuine happiness. It requires some effort on our parts. If you want to eliminate anger, fill your life with happiness, and experience greater joy in your relationships than you can imagine at this point, that will require more effort than if you want to just gain a little intellectual understanding about Real Love as a principle. I hasten to add, however, that the effort required to find Real Love is actually less than the effort we now spend on Getting and Protecting Behaviors. Lying, attacking, acting like victims, running, and clinging require enormous effort, to the point that they usually utterly exhaust us.

Now, let me suggest three progressively difficult and effective programs for finding Real Love and the happiness you want.
