Life is about "CHOICE!" You "ALWAYS" have a choice!The pressure to make the choice you really want to make will vary. There will be times that it requires everything you are to make the choice "YOU WANT!" Still, other times it's "NO BIG DEAL!"I'm not saying it is easy, I'm simply saying you "ALWAYS" have a choice...;-)Choosing to live your life, even when there might be others threatening you,

A curious thing for me, is the fact that we as humans have "A CHOICE!"Logically, it is easy for me to then say, choice is by design. Choice is built-in to rules of the game, "The Game of Life!"If choice is an absolute then how can some people stand on God's name or "the word of Jesus" until those in their life feel they can no longer breath.The only thing you can say or do must be what they "

Yes, I am speaking to men, even though it is clear to me that this concept exist for women as well.Unplugged from life going through the motions and all while the dull achiness reminds him that he is "ALIVE!"

A Salmon swims upstream enduring an amazing struggle simply to have to the opportunity to spawn the next generation. at the end of this journey death is almost certain.Is it any wonder that we as humans are so resistant to "swimming upstream" or acting "against the grain."Here's the first thing that comes to mind, for me, death isn't almost certain "death is an absolute!" You don't cheat death,

I have the book "Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD and have read parts of it...much left to read. It is a wonderful book that is filled with a great insight into communication.Personally I would prefer the title read "peaceful communication" as it is my feeling that the inclusion of the word violent in fact requires violence to exist for the book to have meaning. words do
