This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 14, 2007:
It's really interesting that this question should show up today.
This morning, I was discussing with my partner issues around conflict and arguments, and how sometimes I can get drawn into disagreement because I feel the need to express my point of view, rather than rise above and be accepting of how others are being. Life is not a competitive game to be won. I know that, so why do I sometimes enter the race?
During this conversaton I found myself in harmony with my professional self. As a hypnotherapist, one of my strengths is to be able to listen to my clients and share their map of the universe, and then use my skills to move them towards expanding their map and achieve their desired outcomes.
So, from today onwards, I publically declare that I'm going to use my professional skills in all my relationships. I aim to live my strengths and fully be the real me.

Life is not a competitive game to be won. You are so right about that! I guess this is the mindset that we all need to have, the whole world! Imagine how different the world would be…!
