It’s such a shame. Those who are this was should most definitely seek out a coach and work hard to get the best out of life and themselves.

]]> Comment on What Drives Us? by altonwoods http://judyirving.com/2010/07/17/what-drives-us/#comment-30 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 21:26:47 +0000 http://judyirving.com/?p=111#comment-30 My belief is that all behavior can be traced back to getting our basic needs met. Those needs being sustainance,shelter,and LOVE! Most if not all of the problems people experience are related to their misguided attempts to experience God and/or love. If we understand behavior from that perspective it’s a lot easier to be compassionate towards people who are acting out of their lack.

“Are there things you do or others do that when put in this context of ‘the need to be loved and accepted’ you can understand more fully?”

Just as you have stated…

“Is what they need really love, recognition, a smile or a hug?”

Sometimes they need a kick in the pants…knowing who needs which is,in my opinion,the essence of love!

enjoyed your work, Jeff

Chan http://judyirving.com/2009/06/29/the-paradox-of-greatness/#comment-24 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 08:16:04 +0000 http://transformativethoughts.wordpress.com/?p=12#comment-24 I can relate to your thoughts about feeling that something is missing.It is may be because we are always in a hurry to fulfill things, look for money to pay our debts, our bills, go to work early, accompany our kids to school and go to work afterwards, and so many other things that make us wish we have so much energy and resources to cope with. In the process of our hurryness, we tend to accomplish not everything that we need to and feel that “something is missing” despite our having done our best to be super women. Is is may be because we fail to trust in God’s wonderful ways of making our undertakings lighter and more manageable for us. We tend to rely on our individual capacities, stretching beyond human capabilities, failing to pause for a moment to seek God’s hand to do the rest. There is no end to our wants. We become frustrated when we are not able to have a big house, a huge sum of money, a promotion, a car- whatever.Only a trusting relationship with God can cure that feeling that something is missing because ONLY GOD IS ENOUGH.

Never force yourself to do things for the sake of greatness. Just live life for the sake of living, as-is, where-is.
