10 Ways You Can Change Your Story and Balance Your Success in 2010.

1. We all write a story about ourselves early in life, realize it is always part fiction.
2. If the mirrors you look into early in life are distorted, so is your view of yourself. Commit to seeing yourself accurately today.
3. You cannot re-write your story alone; we are all too subjective to obtain a rational view of ourselves.
4. Choose rational people to help you re-write your story, to find out the truth of who you are today.
5. Expand your empathic range so that your choice of intimate friends is growth promoting.
6. Realize that the path to true self knowledge and balance comes from sustained intimate relationships.
7. We learn the most when we commit our hearts to those around us, playing it safe keeps you static.
8. Your romantic relationships reveal more about your true story than any other human contact. Love brings our stories front and center.
9. In order to live a balanced life self care has to be a priority, taking care of oneself is never separate from the care of others. Abuse yourself and you indirectly abuse others.
10. Intimacy is the greatest predictor of a balanced life; if you don’t how to maintain love you will never overcome the negative story of the past.

The Power of Empathy

Posted by docapc at 10:41 pm

The Power of Empathy shows how people can use empathy as an assessment tool in all their relationships. Empathy can signal when people are well-intentioned and when they are deceitful. It can shield people from manipulative strangers and strengthen the bonds between loved ones. It is an emotion that has been overlooked, underused, and misunderstood for too long. Both prescriptive and narrative, The Power of Empathy provides a practical framework for anyone to use empathy to better his or her life.

Dr. Arthur Ciaramicoli believes that empathy is the driving force behind love-and that its power goes vastly unrecognized by most people. His book, The Power of Empathy, is an important new resource for people who hope to enrich their emotional lives, improve their communication skills, and explore the spiritual dimensions of the human capacity for love. While traditional relationship books emphasize loving each other and oneself, Ciaramicoli and Ketcham argue that they overlook the critical fact that love itself needs help-and that empathy is the solution.
