Keeping our self-value separate from our roles and results.
Posted on January 26th, 2011 by johan
The roles we have (mother, husband, company director, electrician, goal keeper, etc) along with the results we produce will vary from 0 to 10, as will our levels of skill in these roles.

With the New Year now upon us, many of us will have made New Year resolutions. And for good reason: we are not entirely happy with how it went last year. Be it that our jeans have strangely become too tight, or our bank account somehow has not expanded, or our new business didn’t reach the [...]
