Yes it is astounding what we will make up and it's usually for the worse isn't it? As meaning making beings, it is so easy to get hooked. Hi Mona - nice to see you here.

Right on. I actually wrote an article about this over a year ago... but I never ported it over into my new site. So, since this discussion is so fresh, I just did (it's <a href="http://monkatwork.com/2007/05/30/thats-what-the-lonely-is-for" rel="nofollow">up at my site</a> if you're interested). I also love the approach of looking at your life as if nothing is wrong. That's a great way to shift your perspective, that's for sure. “A hunger to live life in alignment with your deepest values and longings.”

Right on.

"There's something wrong with me," is such a commonly held belief and is so easily propagated. By simply making a face at someone who's crying, that person can get the idea that there's something wrong with them for crying. Then we wind up collecting more and more proof for how there's something wrong with us - and maybe it's not even true. We just never stopped to consider that what we've been believing all these years is actually a myth. How would we live our lives differently without the assumption that there's something wrong with us? I love where that inquiry can go. Thanks for tying it all together, Dave.
