Marriage Tested by Chronic Illness? Why Some Men Leave

To Allow A Critic…

“To allow a critic to diminish one’s self-confidence is to say that their un-constructive criticism is accurate. We’ve all made mistakes, but we’re still here. You’ve seen some things, been in some battles and endured conflict. You are a survivor — you can still achieve your goal. Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating your next moment based on what you are feeling and thinking. That is what’s real.” —Doc Childre

There Is An Intelligent Healing Process…

“There is an intelligent healing process inside of you that knows how to absorb pain and transform it into wisdom. But to heal, you have to give yourself to the pain. You cannot avoid facing yourself your whole life. If you avoid your truthful emotions and pain you will implode and contract into a diminished and unfeeling state. Growth and empowerment require reflection and facing the frightening, ugly, hard and unbearable reality. People are often clever masters at fooling themselves and not seeing the obvious right in front of them. One of the fastest ways to move through your pain is to get a grip on reality. Real transformation requires real honesty. If you want to move forward — get real with yourself!”
