Worry

Open up
When I have difficult talks, it is a great advantage if I am open inwards. Then I have a greater opportunity to be in contact and to create an authentic encounter that creates growth in both me and the other. This is especially important when working with feedback.
”I am honest and always say what I think …”
Beware of wild shooting compulsive truth-tellers who lacks impulse control …” – they can do damage rather than contribute to positive development (who do not ask themselves what the purpose is to say what they say, are not thinking about how to package the ”Honesty” so that it is becomes good development, that does not reflect if it’s the best […]
Afraidbrave

If someone has done something to you that you are bothered about, something […]

A poem to a smile
Just think how little it cost to smile to loved ones or to others. We are sending signals to the outside world: I’m ok and you are ok, I feel joy – here is some of my joy, please take part in it! A smile is contagious! I want to smile more – because I like to […]

The phrase ”I am who I am” implies that we do not evolve in life. But in fact: we are responsible for living our own lives well – there is no other who can take that responsibility. How do we take responsibility for creating our lives? How do we avoid responsibility? On who/on what do we […]
