Thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to our learning from each other.
I like the way you set the scene. "It was a dark and stormy night..." except without the stormy part.
Do you have any insight now about why that occured? Was there something harmful, abusive, unfair about your situation? Or was the anger and frustration from inside of you and not a reaction to something bad in your environment?
From the rest of your article, I think that you discovered some excellent principles and techniques on your own
Here, let me shove you and tell you what to think, so that you can be free of outside influences and think for yourself. Why won't that ever work? :-/
That's not just you, some of it does say it should be taken as a Bible... that it's the one truth of God's Universe and you'd damn well better believe it! (pun intended) One of the things I love about the L/L Research work is the phrase such as, "Please take what you find helpful with your own experience, and set the rest aside."
I am also learning more about marketing. There is some great material in that field. I think it was Gary Halbert or Dan Kennedy who talked about understanding the conversation that is already going on inside the mind of the other person, and joining that conversation.
I imagine that should give you a broad base for empathy with many people's situations.
Thanks again for joining!

Quote:Eventually I went into a career in Marketing, and learned through my years, that to most efficiently communicate the light to people, is through gradual change and convincing.
