Fear
We want to be strong and in control. We want others to see our determination to make it in this world. But frequently, fear keeps us from moving forward.

Mark Twain said, “Courage isn’t the lack of fear, it is acting in spite of it.” But sometimes we need more than a great quote to calm the fears. If you find yourself dealing with fear, please…..

Guilt
Guilt is a powerful, and most people carry, at least a little bit with them. But guilt can sometimes be overwhelming. Feelings of remorse, wanting to, “fix it”, the uncertainty of what to do next…. Guilt can be all consuming, and if you find yourself trying to overcome an all-consuming sense of guilt, please…..
Insignificance
Who hasn’t felt insignificant at one time or another? Maybe you’re the life of the party, but when the party is over no one knows you exist. Or maybe you feel like no one knows you exist regardless of the party. Our real value as people is far greater than simply how we feel about ourselves. If you find yourself feeling like you don’t matter and that your contribution to life is insignificant, please…..
