A 32 year old patient sought out the therapist, Richard Crowley.
"I cannot stop sucking my thumb," he, complained.
"Don't be too concerned about that," Crowley told him. "But suck on a different finger each day."
The patient tried to do as instructed. But each time he brought his hand to his mouth, he had to make a conscious choice as to which finger should be the object of his attention that day. Before the week was over, the habit was cured.
"When a vice becomes a habit, it is difficult to deal with," Richard Crowley says. "But when it requires of us that we develop new attitudes, make new decisions and choices, we become aware that it is not worth the effort."


" The master says:
"If you must cry, cry like a child.
"You were once a child, and one of the first things you learned in life was to cry, because crying is a part of life. Never forget that you are free, and that to show your emotions is not shameful.
"Scream, sob loudly, make as much noise as you like. Because that is how children cry, and they know the fastest way to put their hearts at ease. "Have you ever noticed how children stop crying? They stop because something distracts them. Something calls them to the next adventure. "Children stop crying very quickly.
"And that's how it will be for you. But only if you can cry as children do."

The result? ...


Ho-hum.. 6:45am. Notice how daybreak comes pretty early these days? At 5:30, with my back to the window, I was flabbergasted to see morning light reflect on my monitor. I turned to the window and it was true, a new day has birthed long before I was ready for it. Days whizz by so fast...

My daily goal is to get the most of what I can out of 1 day. Not just about work, but most importantly, out of life. Squeeze the marrow out of every waking minute. To find some sort of meaning and not just sleep walk through it all.

Have you ever watched the Ally McBeal episodes? It's so darn addictive. It has been my drug of choice the past few days. It's been hitting pretty close to home -- arrow staright. So close, it's scary.

When I was younger, I had a lot of ideals for myself, a perfect picture of where I want to be and what I want to do with my life. Today I realized that I've surrendered some of that perfection. I've made a lot of wrong turns that I swore I wouldn't even think of doing. Many times, I found myself swearing profusely at the crossroads I have been thrown at, all because of my own doing. A friend once told me that I was the bravest person she knew because it seemed that I wasn't at all afraid of getting hurt. I'd rather call it stupidity. I bet she meant it that way too. Who knows.

It really has been a journey. But I still believe that anything is possible. An open mind is a precious gift. Good and bad, come hither. We've only just begun.

How bout you, what have you discovered today?

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. Know a good thing when you see it, and don't let it slip away. And if you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it.
