Rest

A redemptive act of obedience leading to a deeper peace. Be still more. Being still more. Becoming.

Denial

Glossing over the glossary.

Frustrated

Going back repeatedly to a previous point instead of pointing forward with a different attitude.

Accusation

A voice that often sounds like our own.

For Against

The statement I hear repeatedly in most conversations is "I don't want ...." We are trained to know what we don't want because we are mostly told what not to do. That creates fear of freedom, anxiety misinterpreted as frustration, and resistance to courage. It's not about what you want or what you are against as much as what you are for. Everyone looks the same when against. What you are for distinguishes the message that makes a difference from the protest that only can make a point against a point of difference.

Venting

Venting more often invents than ventilates the heart and mind.

Fear

An emotion in its own ocean. A feeling often unable to associate with other feelings.

Mentoring

Sometimes giving, sometimes simply arranging the environment of the mind so one can stand or think on one's feet.

Valentine

A fearless original opinion.

Erase for Context

Pursuing answers to the right questions involves unlearning the corrupted approaches that blind us to a broader range of allowable evidence. Stop the racing mind from indecisive argumentative paralysis. Pause long enough to quietly erase learned defensive behaviors and thinking so the meat of the race doesn't milk your strength and clarity.

Mentoring

Firmly challenging with a cutting edge to remove the jagged edges that discourage and confuse.
