“...our life crises tell us that we need to break free of beliefs that no longer serve our personal development. These points at which we must choose to change or to stagnate are our greatest challenges. Every new crossroads means we enter into a new cycle of change - whether it be adopting a new health regimen or a new spiritual practice. And change inevitably means letting go of familiar people and places and moving on to another stage of life.” PeopleNeedsMeanSpiritualMovingBeliefChallengesBreakPracticeOur LivesStageDevelopmentLetting GoCrisisPersonal DevelopmentFamiliarCyclesCrossroadsSpiritual PracticeAdoptingStages Of LifeLife Crisis Author:Caroline Myss

“The essence of the this-time-is-different syndrome is...rooted in the firmly held belief that financial crises are things that happen to other people in other countries at other times; crises do not happen to us, here and now. We are doing things better, we are smarter, we have learned from past mistakes. The old rules of valuation no longer apply. Unfortunately, a highly leveraged economy can unwittingly be sitting with its back at the edge of a financial cliff for many years before chance and circumstance provoke a crisis of confidence that pushes it off.” PeopleYearsDifferentCountryHappensPastBeliefChanceMistakeEconomyCircumstancesSittingEssenceCrisisFinancialEdgesRootedOther CountriesSmarterProvokingCliffsHere And NowSyndromesFinancial CrisisValuationPast Mistakes Author:Carmen Reinhart

“I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view.
