“Fear-of not being loved, of abandonment, of being thought to be selfish-is the main thing that keeps us vulnerable and bound in the chains of emotional dependence. Therefore, our two most difficult challenges are to truly believe it is okay for us to be ourselves and to learn to live with, move through, and heal our fears.” BelieveTwoMovingDifficultChallengesEmotionalOkayBoundsSelfishHealChainsVulnerableBeing YourselfDependenceAbandonmentBeing LovedBeing SelfishDifficult Challenges Author:Sue Thoele

Because I like switching it up, basically, not because I would take the easier road.” EnoughCharacterProblemEasyDifficultChallengesEmotionTalentOkayDramatic Author:Gerard Butler
