Their gap is your command
Like one of the multitude of enthusiastic readers of Walter Isaacson’s terrific book, I’ve been trying to grok Steve Jobs’ way of looking at the world so that my clients and I can benefit from it.

All heartfelt people do heartfelt things, but not every person who does heartfelt things is a heartfelt person. Heartfelt doing makes is great for the world; heartfelt being is great for humanity.As Nelson Mandela shortly leaves us I find myself much sadder than when other great people have died.

The 4th of July is a great time of year to ask yourself, how independent are you? Are you Dependent, Pseudo-independent or Independent?

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

Does your boss "kiss up" to make themself successful or "kiss down" make you more successful?
About thirty years ago when I was in full time practice as a clinical psychiatrist I would occasionally refer some of my patients to a well-known university psychiatric hospital for in-patient hospitalization. It was rare at that time to get a “thank you” from that hospital for the referral and on many occasions they would keep the patient after discharge and refer them to one of their own clinics without contacting me (they have since changed their ways).

for-give-ness: Pronunciation: \-ˈgiv-nəs\ – noun – The act of letting go of one’s anger towards someone for having hurt, wounded, betrayed, injured or harmed one. Forgiving does not necessarily mean forgetting the harm someone has done, your disappointment in them or giving them a second chance to harm you, but it does mean letting go of the anger one attaches to the hurtful incident and of begrudging the person for it.
