The issue you are dealing with isn’t the issue. The real issue is how you relate with yourself through this issue. Your relationship with the issue is the issue itself. When you make the issue about yourself, then you are stuck. Feeling stuck feels like anger or sadness. The root of anger and sadness is fear.

1. You sincerely want the shift
2. You are open to asking for help.
3. You are ready to receive.
If you were a stranger, what advice would you offer to the person in the mirror? Once you’ve heard the advice – take it on.
