PhDEd, the science of knowing...
Elle, please accept my apology if I appear to you as "nit-picking"; "...TOMORROW will be the same as YESTERDAY..."; no discussion of TODAY...
Elle, Obligatory thinking traps you into the "playbook" of others... Obligatory thinking prevents you from being independent... "FEAR of ABANDONMENT" (emotional or physical) locks you into those choices you continue to make, sabotaging your future...
I have seen the effects of disconnecting from the will of others in order to find your own will... Just suspend all opinion for 24 hours if you can... You can then start seeing which opinions are being dumped on you by others and which opinions are really, really, really your own... Of course a new level of responsibility comes with this new freedom...
"Fear freezes the feet!" implies that the usefullness of fear isn't absolute, like when an 18 wheeler is bearing down on you and your kids... Respecting that same 18 wheeler is the adult solution, leaving you FREE to choose what to do next...
No doubt that my rustling in the bushes around this WEB site has an effect... Also, you are all very generous in your responses... I get more than you can imagine from being here...
