I do not know if any of you have fallen into this trap, though I am suspecting it might not just be me. Do you dream of perfection somewhere in your life? Is there one area of your life that you have felt frustrated as no matter how hard you work towards perfection in this one area you view yourself as failing? Take a moment and look within the 7 areas of life: Spiritual, Mental, Vocational, Financial, Physical, Social & Familial. Connect for one moment secretly in you mind the area in which you have desired perfect, yet still have not obtained it. It shall serve you as you continue.
I have to admit I have fallen prey to perfection thinking. During my younger years in certain areas of my life I would not consider anything, which did not meet my perfection standards. The great error to this is not allowing things as they are initially so they continue to get better and better. Refusing to acknowledge how things were transforming to my desired perfection made me feel powerless in being capable of ever obtaining my perfect vision.
Think of a small child who is first learning how to walk. In the child’s mind he/she has the visualization of what it looks like to walk. As anyone knows who has watched a small child, they have witnessed the child wobble, drop/fall, up again wobble drop fall over and over and over until the child can walk. Many of us at times have laughed in glee at the persistance of a small child failing to realize we are doing the same in our own life.
What do you think of the likelihood of a child learning to walk if after the first plop they gave up not reaching the perfection of walking? Well, I know if it were me I would still be crawling around on the floor as well as many of my friends with me. Would we be a funny looking population! LOL.
Think back on the one area in your life you have been dreaming of success in and also the form of success. When a small child falls, do you think they might think… “hmmmm… I almost got it, look how good I did. This time I am going to do it just a little different and see if I can get it to work?” Have you acknowledged the excellence of the tiny small stride you or others have made in the direction of your perfection view.
When I was younger I have mentioned I felt like a complete failure at personal relationships. This was very far from true as I was actively studying and learning how to do them better. In my perception I had kept dating the same terrible guy over and over again who merely had a different name. What I didn’t realize and honor were the tiny improvements I was making with each and every relationship. I could easily acknowledge I was doing this in my career, but with my intimate relationships I was unwilling to look at it. I only wanted the perfect dream of a relationship I had had since I was little.
The addiction to only settling for perfection was in effect causing me great pain and anguish. I am certain you may very well feel the same way about the idea of perfection you have had regarding something important in your life that hasn’t in your mind come to fruition as of yet. You, like me may have lost sleep over it or maybe even cried about it. Ok, so you probably didn’t cry, and I did shedding many tears of frustration. ;)
How would you like to make it come to fruition? What if I told you it will be extremely simple, though it will take effort and mainly the effort is daily practice. Would you still be willing to do it? Can you break free from society’s pull and demand of “I have to have it NOW and it has to by MY WAY!”?? If you are willing to do something different continue to read.
Everyday, journal 10 results you see/feel today in your perception of how your future idea of what you want in your life is coming to be true. Every single little tiny step along the way acknowledge how you are getting closer to your perfect vision. The gift of the God/Universe is what we thank about and realize for ourselves as coming true along the way, creates a domino effect of our dreams coming true for us in the vision of what we desire.
Henry Ford has a saying paraphrased here: “Whether you believe you can or you can’t in either case you are right.”
Believing in yourself and your dreams is powerful. The more you acknowledge they are coming true and being grateful for every small step everyday, the closer you come to having the life of your dreams according to the perfection of the perfect dream you have in your mind. God has instilled the idea or the belief in you, and you would only have it there if you were truly capable of making it happen.
Now, if you are really courageous and would like to consider how to make being grateful for heading in the direction even more effective here is how: Talk to those who are close to you. Verbalize to your friends and families how in your perception you are grateful of the steps you realize that are happening in forming the perfection in your mind. Yes, they will disagree with you at times, and despite the disagreement there is incredible power to be had by speaking it aloud. It will take you to the next level of faith in yourself to keep moving forward and owning you truly are accomplishing your dreams as you have envisioned them.

WARNING- Honor Being Lost
Have you realized an unusual trend that has been spreading across America lately? I am certain those you in other countries may have seen it as well. The trend I am mentioning is embarrassment, or lack of gratitude, for self about what one does for a living. It appears there is a diseased point of view that what one does is not a honorable position. Have you noticed how many negate what they do as being a service to the world.
When I talk with my clients (those who desire wealth in the financial form) some of my clients have the perception they want to make a lot of money and then be able to give it away to a "noble cause." That is a grand idea, though it doesn't really seem like much fun to suffer to make wealth doing something of no value to some how obtain wealth to then just give it away.
I have been reading a fun book called .where in the first chapter he talks about this myth of society. Rabbi Lapin talks specifically about Bill Gates and how many squabble about the amount of money he gives to charity. In the United States it seems that many are promoting the need to be charitable and that profitability is considered evil and bad. Rabbi Lapin points out the destruction or lack of acknowledgment for the tremendous service to humanity Bill Gates has done with his products and services. Thanks to Bill Gates we have a common computer language today that allows us to communicate around the world and share information. This destruction of giving credit to Bill Gates for his amazing service in business is showing up in each of our lives.
True wealth in our lives is accomplished by the amount of service it brings and the number of people it serves. If we do not value and honor what we do for a living, others will not value or honor us thus decreasing our personal wealth. By not honoring and valuing ourselves we will limit the amount of income we have available to share with others. If we ignore how others services are a blessing to us and others we are negating them, as well as ourselves. Every-time we negate someone else for their service to the world it is a reflection of ourselves diminishing our self-worth to the world. The more we diminish our self-worth magnet, the more difficult it is for us to be a magent in our lives whether it is for relationships, career, finances or family.
Think about how simplistic our lives are today comparred to a few hundred years ago. We owe this fact to each and every one of us and the service we provide everyday that plays a small part in this effect. 99% of us eat food that has partially been prepared by others. I personally do not know anyone that mills their own flour and must because they are unable to eat otherwise. Think of cell phones and the services provided by them that allows us to stay connected with each other. The Verizon commercial is a prime example of how many people it takes to make it so one person can have excellent service even if it is the mere use of the product. Think about the amazing internet and all or the parts and pieces that have to happen together to make it happen. Think about all of the support people in the process of all of these these from distributors, store owners, manufacturers, farmers, fishermen etc.
Remember, God/Universe's greatest gift to us when we are born are our unique talents. We have been encouraged to move forward in life and be fruitful and multiple. This idea is not just about bearing children only, it is about bearing our unique talents to the world.What is it you do that is your service? How does what you do effect hundreds of individuals in the form of how you currently create financial income? What is amazing about the service you provide?
If no one on the planet did what you do, how would the world survive without that service of no one providing it at all? How would the world we know today be different without that service? Do you love what you do? Can you see how what you do and the way you do it is unique for you and your uniqueness is a product that you sell to your employer, your clients, your family and yes, even your friends.
There is no one else exactly like you. Honor who you are and own your magnificence of who you are and the unique service you share with the World. The more you do, the more you will increase your personal worth and increase your personal magnetism.The more we are grateful for the more we get to be grateful about.

Poverty Thinking Can Make Me Wealthy?????
You know what! I am completely fed up with the personal growth movement these days in relationship to the idea of Prosperity. I swear if one more person comes up to me or emails me about how “ I NEED“ to have more of a prosperous view of my life I am going to haul out and hit them. Now, all of you know, I am petite and would not fare well in a physical fight. Mind you I tend towards fighting with words. Let the fight begin. ;)
As I begin my rant I do want you to know that I believe in prosperity thinking, though it has been touted as the end all be all to success in our life. There are thousands of books on the topic of prosperity. In fact, Christianity touts this very premise. I can go on to Amazon, or do and internet search of the very word prosperity and hundreds of thousands of results come up. Most of the famous personal growth gurus have something about this idea as a top seller into their seminars or books etc.
I used to buy into this HOOK, LINE and SINKER. I kept thinking to myself. If only I could have more prosperity thinking. If only I could just focus on my prosperity I know I would have more. If only I could focus on the positive in my life I could have more of everything I could possibly want. If only I could be good enough. Have any of you ever felt that way about something or some idea that you wanted to have more of in your life. I spent time and money attempting to be something I already was and didn’t understand. I didn’t realize how having more prosperity thinking was actually making me poorer.
Hmmm… I know you are saying to yourself right now… what the devil is she up to? Devilish things you can be assured! LOL.
Let’s take a look at the drawbacks of prosperity thinking. You know, this belief system people that are making tons of money off you that they don’t want you to realize or they are merely taking an opportunity as they know you don’t want to realize it in yourself. Also, I am certain none of you ever would do the things I mention as being drawbacks, though I am certain you will be able to see them in other people. (Not really but I know it makes you feel better to think that. Smile.)
The following are the drawbacks I have found to prosperity thinking; When I am feeling particularly prosperous and I go out to eat or get a massage etc. I have a tendency to over tip. This is a drawback to me because I am not working within my personal budget. (Those who manage money wisely get more money to manage) It is a drawback to others as they do not receive real feedback about their service.
I have found when I am operating in this all righteous prosperous mood that I will tip others even when they have given me awful service. The drawback to me is when I tolerate something; I continue to get more of the same to be tolerant of. I am essentially telling the people/Universe and God that I don’t feel worthy, I don’t expect much ,and that I am not worthy of receiving quality and/or adequate service. In acting out in the name of prosperous thinking I have torn down my own personal self worth. I am essentially telling others, Universe and God that I expect receive substandard service. Guess what I get more of addicting to prosperous thinking…. More of the same, substandard service, less money, and less net-worth and less personal worth to break my fantasy of prosperity thinking.
The drawback to the ones who receive the tip while providing an awful service gets them stuck. They might not be able to grow or increase their income because they have gotten poor feedback on how to provide a service where their customers will feel honored and valued. They will become frustrated and think they are incapable of personal financial success. It can go as far and causing them to have to live off welfare. This will essentially be because no one has been truly honest with them about what is expected and how to work within their values. When we give money to people who deep inside know they haven’t earned it by providing a quality service it decreases their self-worth and personal desire to live the life of their dreams. They lose out by not learning how to effectively communicate their value or focus their products or services to those who will value what they have to offer. The individuals who receive compensation from us in our prosperous states end up becoming completely dependent on us, instead of learning to be dependent on themselves. When we are in our prosperous thinking state, we are not teaching people how to fish; we instead only giving them a fish for the moment.
Let’s look at poverty thinking and the benefits of it. I know, you think I have totally fallen off my rocker by now. Breathe for a moment. Read on and know you have complete freedom to disagree with me. I value having people disagree with me as I am inspired to encourage others to think for themselves, though for a moment, hold that thought.
What could possibly be the benefits of proverty thinking? I began looking at the times in my life where I had a poverty thought process. When I have a poverty process I tend to work with in a budget. I tend to save money away and plan for tomorrow. I tend to make plans about what I am going to do and I am more focused. I am more honest with individuals about the service they provide me when I have poverty thoughts which enables them to learn how to serve me more effectively or encourage me to go to others who do the same to receive the type of services I desire. The people that I show my poverty side to get to become better at persuading or selling value in such a way they end up improving their skills. Together we both increase our self-worth which increases our personal magnetism to increase our wealth. The benefits to others when I am in my poverty thought process is that they learn how to fish rather than merely eating this one fish I give them now.
Fear not having poverty or prosperity thoughts. Look at your life and see how both are needed. Prosperity thinking helps us to forage forward. Poverty thinking helps us to have plans, nest eggs and focus on the basics. Prosperity thinking helps us to be brave and take risks, poverty thinking helps us to put in place stop gaps, realize the need to communicate effectively. We need both and somewhere between Prosperity thinking and Poverty thinking is our true essence. When we can embrace both and see how they both serve in our life we unleash our own personal power. The more that we cling to one and resist the other is what causes us to continue to remain in whatever circumstance we perceive to be repeating.
Do you have circumstances that seem to continue to be repeating themselves in your life? Would you like to have the opportunity to shift that dynamic in your life? Would you be able to have more or create more in your life if you weren’t distracted by the repeating circumstances?

Society Has Been Brainwashed
Today I want to debunk a theory we have been taught. The theory is as follows: It is better to give than to receive. Now, before I start this conversation let’s just think about this statement. Go back and reread it. Ok, so who the $*%&# can you give too, if it is evil to receive? Notice the underlining tone of the actual statement. Now, mostly this idea was started by religions to inspire individuals to support the church. The religions were in the process of receiving as it was and is their way of receiving compensation for the gift of service they provided and continue to provide. Rather than selling on the value they provide to the community they instead created this weird rule that we (as a society) have all bought hook line and sinker.
There is a law of the universe out there that has the name FAIR EXCHANGE. This means that no matter what you give you receive an equal amount in return. Now, here is where the catch is that frustrates so many people. Just because you give cash doesn’t mean that you will receive cash in return. Instead you are paid back in the form of your highest values.
Beating up on religious individuals for a moment, let me give you an example. I know many people who will give and give and give all of the money they have to their church or to others. These same individuals do not even have money to buy their own clothes, their own food, shelter themselves or provide transportation for themselves. Now, they perceive themselves as being very God like as they have given so much even to the point they are neglecting their own bodies (the temple of God) to follow the law of it is better to give than to receive.
Let’s look for a moment and see where the fair exchange might be popping up for them. One way is definitely how good they feel about themselves by giving so much. They receive in return for their fair exchange a feeling of pride, belief in their spiritual connection with God that it is better than anyone else’s, that they are following the “law of God” better than anyone. They stand proud and justified in their conviction. This is what they might be receiving in return for their giving instead of the form of the financial return professed by the "law of giving."
A little over 5 years ago I sold my home that I had purchased when I lived in Las Vegas. I made a huge profit as I sold when the market was peaking. I had all of this excess cash. I ended up attending a personal development seminar within the month of selling my home. At the end of the seminar there was the opportunity to purchase into the next seminar. I had already signed up. I had this guilt in the back of my mind that I was required to give a tithe of 10% of the profit. I wouldn’t be God like if I didn’t share my wealth (money) with others. In my hurry to be certain I was living in abundance I reacted to a woman who made a request to have someone pay for her to go to the next seminar. In that moment I felt it was up to me to pay for this woman to go. I did not request payment at all, I just freely gave her the money as we are “suppose” to do as givers. We are only suppose to give without wanting anything in return.
I am going share from my personal experience this is not true. This is what I received because I blocked other forms of receiving: I felt proud, I felt self-righteous, I got to be noticed by others for my grand giving, I felt better than her, I felt I had arrived in my life, I felt I really was going to be blessed in the future for being so giving, I felt justified and on and on. Most important I felt I was living the true laws of prosperity as we were so wonderfully taught in our religions. Folks, all those things I mentioned were how I was paid in fair exchange for what I gave. Notice I did not mention I received money in fair exchange. This had to do with the forms I chose were higher in my values. I mentioned them earlier in the paragraph and I blocked all other forms of fair exchange.
Right after this seminar class I returned home to my boyfriend who then moved in with me into a “bigger and better” home from the one I had just purchased. His first check bounced for our first mortgage payment. His next payment never came. By this time I had returned to the upgraded seminar class and came home. At this upgraded class I was again taught the value of “It is better to give than to receive.” More thoughts on how to operate from abundance and not operate in scarcity. The girl that I had paid for was there and appeared to be having a grand time. I again received more personal reward in walking with my head high, feeling proud I had paid for her to be there, being certain of my willingness to give, thinking that others must really perceive me as altruistic. Give me a freaking break! I was being completely naïve to the law of fair exchange and not acknowledging how I was receiving from the Universe/God.
When I got home I finally woke up regarding my boyfriend. He was draining me of money. He made more money than I did and now our 3rd month was due and he hadn’t even resolved the first bounced check with me. How is it that I tithed and was so generous and was “getting taken?” I stopped it right then and there! I kicked him out. I gave him a week to move out, though after talking with his sister I then gave him 24 hours to get out of the house and he could move his stuff later. It turned out he had a gambling problem and that is why he didn’t have any money to pay for what he had committed to.
What I realized for me was my now ex-boyfriend was a mirror reflection of me. I too was a gambler. I of course was being a “HOLY GAMBLER.” I was giving my tithe to God expecting him to bless me financially. In fact, I would say I was “OVER GIVING” expecting God to bless me. The reason why I indicated I was over giving is that I was not taking care of myself, the Temple of God. I was not maintaining my own four walls: food, clothes, shelter and transportation.
I learned after a long two years of working very hard and loosing all of my money for the spiritual gambles I had been playing with God, thinking that if I kept giving to others I would be rewarded financially. The problem wasn’t that the Universe wasn’t rewarding me abundantly, because it was. The Universe was rewarding me according to my highest values. Based on how I was managing my money, money was clearly not my highest value. The Universe was also working very hard to help me wake up to reality that I was closed off to receiving except in the forms of my highest values.
My financial frustrations with myself had to get so severe and I had to get so frustrated to wake up the the reality that I was blocking financial abundance from my life 1st by the form I only allowed and 2nd by not managing what I received well. Even though a few years ago I learned about this and began realizing that it is a stupid one sided belief continued to still run my life this way. This is a process for me and I learn more about it every day and gain greater knowledge about my values.
Have you ever heard the phrase…” You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”
That is how the universe is with money and opportunities. It is right in front of our face waiting for us to see that we are worthy of having it. Most importantly we have to realizing the forms that we have been addicted to receiving from and how that applies to our highest values. It also is important to give ourselves credit for the talents we have our unique capabilities. Everyone is not exactly like us. We all have our special talents to serve the world with in our unique form. We are worthy of being rewarded financially for the service we provide the world. We will not be able to be rewarded financially until we can clearly see the form we are addicted to receiving, love that form, and then be able to transform it into a financial form.
For me I was really addicted to the form of doing it myself and receiving only the “good feelings”. I was addicted to how I was to receive the financial form, i.e. working HARD, how many hours of service, how productive I was, how many people I served. I was extremely controlling of the form and receipt of the form. I wasn’t allowing the magnificence of the universe to work for me. I also was negating my talents and skills. I assumed anyone could do what I do or share what I share. I have never been more wrong. I am phenomenal at public speaking, and I have a very unique way of looking at life and being able to be vulnerable and teach people tools that will actually work for them in creating their life. Not just anyone can do it. I can, and I am important to the world in sharing my talents and gifts. My talents are needed the way I express them. I am the very best me that exists on planet earth. When I learned about how the form I was receiving my “fair exchange” served me and accepted it as it was, then I was able to transform it into the form I most wanted to create in my life.
I f you or someone you know is an “addict” to giving and is frustrated by not creating the results they say they want in life, get them in touch with me. www.robinsonequation.com I have seminars, coaching sessions and many other ideas that will enable them to tap into their potential and transform it into capacity. I am extremely skilled in assisting others in recognizing their blocks and then doing something about it.

There is a law of the universe out there that has the name FAIR EXCHANGE. This means that no matter what you give you receive an equal amount in return. Now, here is where the catch is that frustrates so many people. Just because you give cash doesn’t mean that you will receive cash in return. Instead you are paid back in the form of your highest values.
Beating up on religious individuals for a moment, let me give you an example. I know many people who will give and give and give all of the money they have to their church or to others. These same individuals do not even have money to buy their own clothes, their own food, shelter themselves or provide transportation for themselves. Now, they perceive themselves as being very God like as they have given so much even to the point they are neglecting their own bodies (the temple of God) to follow the law of it is better to give than to receive.
Let’s look for a moment and see where the fair exchange might be popping up for them. One way is definitely how good they feel about themselves by giving so much. They receive in return for their fair exchange a feeling of pride, belief in their spiritual connection with God that it is better than anyone else’s, that they are following the “law of God” better than anyone. They stand proud and justified in their conviction. This is what they might be receiving in return for their giving instead of the form of the financial return professed by the "law of giving."
A little over 5 years ago I sold my home that I had purchased when I lived in Las Vegas. I made a huge profit as I sold when the market was peaking. I had all of this excess cash. I ended up attending a personal development seminar within the month of selling my home. At the end of the seminar there was the opportunity to purchase into the next seminar. I had already signed up. I had this guilt in the back of my mind that I was required to give a tithe of 10% of the profit. I wouldn’t be God like if I didn’t share my wealth (money) with others. In my hurry to be certain I was living in abundance I reacted to a woman who made a request to have someone pay for her to go to the next seminar. In that moment I felt it was up to me to pay for this woman to go. I did not request payment at all, I just freely gave her the money as we are “suppose” to do as givers. We are only suppose to give without wanting anything in return.
I am going share from my personal experience this is not true. This is what I received because I blocked other forms of receiving: I felt proud, I felt self-righteous, I got to be noticed by others for my grand giving, I felt better than her, I felt I had arrived in my life, I felt I really was going to be blessed in the future for being so giving, I felt justified and on and on. Most important I felt I was living the true laws of prosperity as we were so wonderfully taught in our religions. Folks, all those things I mentioned were how I was paid in fair exchange for what I gave. Notice I did not mention I received money in fair exchange. This had to do with the forms I chose were higher in my values. I mentioned them earlier in the paragraph and I blocked all other forms of fair exchange.
Right after this seminar class I returned home to my boyfriend who then moved in with me into a “bigger and better” home from the one I had just purchased. His first check bounced for our first mortgage payment. His next payment never came. By this time I had returned to the upgraded seminar class and came home. At this upgraded class I was again taught the value of “It is better to give than to receive.” More thoughts on how to operate from abundance and not operate in scarcity. The girl that I had paid for was there and appeared to be having a grand time. I again received more personal reward in walking with my head high, feeling proud I had paid for her to be there, being certain of my willingness to give, thinking that others must really perceive me as altruistic. Give me a freaking break! I was being completely naïve to the law of fair exchange and not acknowledging how I was receiving from the Universe/God.
When I got home I finally woke up regarding my boyfriend. He was draining me of money. He made more money than I did and now our 3rd month was due and he hadn’t even resolved the first bounced check with me. How is it that I tithed and was so generous and was “getting taken?” I stopped it right then and there! I kicked him out. I gave him a week to move out, though after talking with his sister I then gave him 24 hours to get out of the house and he could move his stuff later. It turned out he had a gambling problem and that is why he didn’t have any money to pay for what he had committed to.
What I realized for me was my now ex-boyfriend was a mirror reflection of me. I too was a gambler. I of course was being a “HOLY GAMBLER.” I was giving my tithe to God expecting him to bless me financially. In fact, I would say I was “OVER GIVING” expecting God to bless me. The reason why I indicated I was over giving is that I was not taking care of myself, the Temple of God. I was not maintaining my own four walls: food, clothes, shelter and transportation.
I learned after a long two years of working very hard and loosing all of my money for the spiritual gambles I had been playing with God, thinking that if I kept giving to others I would be rewarded financially. The problem wasn’t that the Universe wasn’t rewarding me abundantly, because it was. The Universe was rewarding me according to my highest values. Based on how I was managing my money, money was clearly not my highest value. The Universe was also working very hard to help me wake up to reality that I was closed off to receiving except in the forms of my highest values.
My financial frustrations with myself had to get so severe and I had to get so frustrated to wake up the the reality that I was blocking financial abundance from my life 1st by the form I only allowed and 2nd by not managing what I received well. Even though a few years ago I learned about this and began realizing that it is a stupid one sided belief continued to still run my life this way. This is a process for me and I learn more about it every day and gain greater knowledge about my values.
Have you ever heard the phrase…” You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”
That is how the universe is with money and opportunities. It is right in front of our face waiting for us to see that we are worthy of having it. Most importantly we have to realizing the forms that we have been addicted to receiving from and how that applies to our highest values. It also is important to give ourselves credit for the talents we have our unique capabilities. Everyone is not exactly like us. We all have our special talents to serve the world with in our unique form. We are worthy of being rewarded financially for the service we provide the world. We will not be able to be rewarded financially until we can clearly see the form we are addicted to receiving, love that form, and then be able to transform it into a financial form.
For me I was really addicted to the form of doing it myself and receiving only the “good feelings”. I was addicted to how I was to receive the financial form, i.e. working HARD, how many hours of service, how productive I was, how many people I served. I was extremely controlling of the form and receipt of the form. I wasn’t allowing the magnificence of the universe to work for me. I also was negating my talents and skills.

You Have RIVALS????
My 8th Grade Arch-Rival
As some of you may have read from my previous blogs I was expelled in 8th grade from parochial school. My eighth grade year I had the privilege of attending a small town public school in the heart of the Midwest. I went from a class of 3 students in the 8th grade to a class of 100. I had so many more people to talk to and associate with. I was elated because I had a different teacher for every class in my new school. Instructors paid to teach one class as their expertise which was a new and different experience for me.
Have any of you ever started a new school or maybe a new job where there were lots of new people? The first few days, even weeks in a new environment can be pretty scary. Sometimes, it can take a little longer than that to feel like you fit in. I was there, scared, and learning how to fit in with this large group. I was still recovering mentally from being rejected (expelled). I just needed a friend.
Slowly I began to make friends. I was thriving on the joy of being with teachers who loved the subjects they taught. Even though I was a little shy, I did risk and participate in class. I had the opportunity of being in choir and in band. I was pretty good at music, as I had been taking piano lessons since 2nd grade and had been playing the flute for the last 2 years. I also sang frequently at church as my parents attended frequently.
With this new school came lots of hot boys! WOW! I had my eye on one particular boy who just happened to be in choir and band. He just happened to be part of the “in” crowd and I wasn’t. Hmmmm, how was I going to get him to notice me? How was I going to stand out and show him how much of a catch I was? Have you ever felt this way with a boss, or someone you liked? Have you ever done something just to get noticed?
Well, the head cheerleader- Caroline, and also a BIG part of the “in” crowd noticed my interest in “her” man. Mind you, they were not dating, though she somehow felt that she owned him. Thus, she became my Arch-Rival. She was there frequently to make certain I didn’t become a permanent member of the “in” crowd. Despite her efforts, I became friends with a few of the girls in the “in” crowed.
I had to come up with an effective strategy of being noticed, and also place Caroline in a check mate. This was a big effort of genius for me, as I had not previously experienced this type of adversity with a peer. Plus, I had never liked any other boy at this point as much as I liked this one.
Caroline happened to play the flute just like me. If I remember correctly, there were about 4 of us in the flute section of the band. I had the joy of holding down the 4th position as I was new and the last to arrive to the class. After being in band for about 1 month something happened in the trumpet row. They had what is called a “challenge.” A challenge is when the say the 3rd place challenges the 2nd place for the position in the band. The winner of the challenge either maintains their chair or gains a new position. The band members vote on who they perceive place the challenge piece of music the best.
This was cool. Competition. I had never had the opportunity to compete in something I perceived being skilled at. I could compete at music and I could easily be good just by practicing. I then made my first challenge to move up to 3rd chair from 4th. I was so nervous playing a solo piece for the entire band, and I succeeded! I was so grateful. I then began thinking, I wonder if I could get 2nd place? Have you ever done something well once, and then wanted to take it to the next level and see if you could? Well this was just one of those instances. I challenged 2nd place who by the way was Caroline. It was a flute dual between the two of us. Caroline did end up winning, though it was so invigorating to give her a run for her money.
With all of this new found incentive of going after and risking to get what I wanted I decided to audition for a solo in our school musical. Guess who else was in that class…Your Right! Caroline! I ended up successfully obtaining a solo with three other girls singing “we’ll take manhattan…” I couldn’t believe how successful I was becoming and how people were starting to notice me. After the musical my Arch-Rival was quick to point out to me I had sung dreadfully off tune. She was the only one though. I have no idea, nor did I care, I had done something huge for me!
The school year progressed much like this, with me competing and going after things I had realized I could do. I usually had my worst critic Caroline commenting from my sidelines. In the spring were cheerleader try outs. I couldn’t do that as I knew my mom would kill me. In the religion I was growing up, dancing is considered a little evil and not recommended. My mom felt that cheerleading was definitely dancing. It would have been fun to directly compete with Caroline on her favorite activity!
I instead chose to compete for Flag Girl position with the marching band in high school for the next year. Have I mentioned that I am short, and at that time barely weighed 90 lbs. Some days when I was practicing with my flag outside, I felt like I was going to blow away. We had try outs finally. D-day was here. A day later the results were posted! I MADE IT!! I WAS A FLAG GIRL in the band if I wanted to be.
Now, what you might not know is that I was never planning to go to public school for high school. I wanted very much to move away from home and go to coed boarding school. Well, my arch-rival Caroline found out about this. She was MAD! Holy cow! She cornered me in the hall one day and completely let me have it on how horrible a person I was to go out for something, get it, and take a spot away from someone else who really wanted it that was going to be there the next year. Her words to me were, “ I WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!”
Well, let me just make a short point with you here… when you hear someone strongly say”I WOULD NEVER”… you can be 100% certain it will come true for that person. I think God has a unique sense of humor and that is why He/She does that.
Caroline had tried out for the cheerleading squad that same spring for high school. She got a spot on the team. Good for her. Caroline and her family also moved that summer before high school unexpectedly. She had taken someone else’s spot and then left them in a ‘lurch’ as she accused me of doing.
Did the one guy ever notice me? Who knows. I didn’t really care by the end of the year because I was having so much fun being me. Were Caroline and I ever friends? No, we were never friends. She, however, was one of the most amazing people in my life. My desire to prove her wrong and compete with her for one of the guys attention helped me to grow and risk as an individual. The whole experience really stepped up my leadership capabilities. I am so grateful to her! She inspired me to push through my shyness and be all I could be. Thank you, Caroline, for being a tremendous catalyst & antagonist in my life, acting out the perfect arch rival role to me. Thank you for being you exactly as you are! You, Caroline, played a very important role of helping me become who I am today. Thank you!
I recommend going after anything that interests you. Go for it. What do you have to lose? If you end up getting and realize you do not want it, that’s ok to. It is better to have tried to get something and not get it, than it is to be too fearful never trying at all. Our failures and the action of taking these failures does lead us to some of our most amazing successes.
What in your life, would you like to go after? Maybe I can help. Check it out at www.robinsonequation.com. You already have everything you could possibly need to become who you dream of.

What! You Hold Grudges???
Yes folks, I am out and I am PROUD to admit that I hold grudges. Some of you are thinking right now, “I have to pray for this woman… she’s just not right!” Others of you are thinking, “Is she still mad at me about that one thing?” Hold on… say a little pray quick and keep reading, you might just realize something you hadn’t thought of before.
I didn’t used to embrace this concept very well about myself. In fact, there were (and are) times I really wanted to hide because I thought I was a horrible terrible person because of it. I only had the negative perspective on it: draining, decreased vitality, taking up time and space in my mind, distracting. These are all ideas that I have had about holding grudges. Then one day I was reading a book, “Billionaire Secrets to Success” – by Bill Bartmann. In this awesome book about wealth building, Bill gives credit to the one person who inspired him more than anyone; his sister-in-law. He openly admits his grudge against her is what inspired him to be who he is today. Weird huh, who would have thought holding a grudge could be an inspiration, a motivator?
Last night as I was laying in my bed thinking about my life and the BE, DO, HAVE process. I will explain the BE DO Have a little later on. I suddenly remembered a grudge I had been carrying for years now. Let me tell you about it.
In 2004 I decided to go back to church to see what my frustrations had been and why I didn’t want to go anymore. I wanted to confront my fears and see where maybe I was confused. The minster got up and began to share his sermon with the church. He was teaching somewhere out of Mathew or Mark about the “GREAT I AM.” Those of you who are bible scholars know exactly the phrase I am talking about. I am only making a general reference here.
I got really angry, mad, and frustrated at the message I perceived the pastor was relaying to the audience. What I heard him say is: “You have to pray for God to bless you.” WHAT!!! I was incensed. I suddenly realized this is exactly why I was no longer attending church. This is RIDICULOUS! God has already blessed each and every one of us and continues to do so daily. The mere fact that I exist in human form is proof enough I have been blessed. Not only that, He/She has given me everything I need to be the best me in my life.
Be mindful here as I share this with you: We hear what we want to hear. We feel what we want to feel. We see what we want to see. We are the masters of our experience. What I am sharing with you is my experience, not exactly what may have happened. There have been many events in my life where I have thought something was one way, and in reality it was quite different.
In classic, bull in a china shop form, I approached the minster after the service. I felt compelled to share with him my thoughts on his error during the sermon. I of course was doing it in a noble manner of giving him feedback. To say the least, my emotions were in full swing, and I probably did not communicate my point of view very well? Have any of you been so upset, or so incensed that you were unable to communicate a thought or idea clearly? Well, take it from an expert that has made this mistake frequently- I’m still learning! Some of you are laughing right now because you know all too well that I am still learning to communicate effectively!
Ever since that time I have been going over different scenarios in my mind about how when I see this minister again I can approach this topic again. Last night, I came the realization it doesn’t matter. It is my lesson to learn, not his. The point that I was voicing to him was really for me to hear. “Janis, no matter what you do, or what you don’t do, I will continue to bless you because I love you- that is why you even exist in the first place.” Love God/Universe.
Now you are confused right? Your thinking what does this have to do with BE, DO and HAVE. The gist of this idea is that many people when they are creating their dreams focus on the HAVE. When I have this…I will DO this or BE this. Wise teachers instruct us, it is who we BE is what generates the DO & HAVE. If anyone wants to learn more about this, let me know and I will be happy to share more on this topic.
I realized for myself personally it is the “GREAT I AM” first and foremost. I have in the past and will continue in the future to beat myself up for my perceived weaknesses. Let’s face it, I am human. When I have worked on “Who I BE,” there was always this wishful thinking, because I was confused that there was any possible way I already was. Our mind can really confuse us and make us think we are much less than what we are. Our mind does this partly to humble us, and partly to help us learn about our own magnificence.
"I am" statements are very important to me some examples include: I am a genius and I apply my wisdom; I have a balanced perspective of building long-term wealth; Whatever I think about and thank about I bring about; I invest in inspiration, not desperation; I am a master of my thoughts, and whatever I think about, I manifest or become. (Borrowed from Dr. John F. Demartini: www.drdemartini.com)
The really cool thing about doing the Demartini Method is that you have the opportunity to own the traits you think you need , and then realize they already exist for you in your life, in your unique form. An example is: There are just as many individuals on this planet that know me as an AMAZING communicator as there are who perceive me as having more to learn. Both of you are quite shocked at this very moment and probably disagree with me both ways! FUNNY HUH!?
If you, or anyone you know would like to learn more about themselves and uncovering their magnificane. Well, you know… you can have them get in touch with me. Now, since I am not a perfect match for everyone, if you are interested in the topic, but not from me, I will be happy to share with you others you can learn from that do what I do.
Why do I do this work? Everyday, if I am able to open one person’s eyes just enough to see even a little bit of the pure magnificence that they are exactly as they are, my day has been worth living. Thank you for reading this. If you want to learn more you can find me at: www.robinsonequation.com

He was teaching somewhere out of Mathew or Mark about the “GREAT I AM.” Those of you who are bible scholars know exactly the phrase I am talking about. I am only making a general reference here.
I got really angry, mad, and frustrated at the message I perceived the pastor was relaying to the audience. What I heard him say is: “You have to pray for God to bless you.” WHAT!!! I was incensed. I suddenly realized this is exactly why I was no longer attending church. This is RIDICULOUS! God has already blessed each and every one of us and continues to do so daily. The mere fact that I exist in human form is proof enough I have been blessed. Not only that, He/She has given me everything I need to be the best me in my life.
Be mindful here as I share this with you: We hear what we want to hear. We feel what we want to feel. We see what we want to see. We are the masters of our experience. What I am sharing with you is my experience, not exactly what may have happened. There have been many events in my life where I have thought something was one way, and in reality it was quite different.
In classic, bull in a china shop form, I approached the minster after the service. I felt compelled to share with him my thoughts on his error during the sermon. I of course was doing it in a noble manner of giving him feedback. To say the least, my emotions were in full swing, and I probably did not communicate my point of view very well? Have any of you been so upset, or so incensed that you were unable to communicate a thought or idea clearly? Well, take it from an expert that has made this mistake frequently- I’m still learning! Some of you are laughing right now because you know all too well that I am still learning to communicate effectively!
Ever since that time I have been going over different scenarios in my mind about how when I see this minister again I can approach this topic again. Last night, I came the realization it doesn’t matter. It is my lesson to learn, not his. The point that I was voicing to him was really for me to hear. “Janis, no matter what you do, or what you don’t do, I will continue to bless you because I love you- that is why you even exist in the first place.” Love God/Universe.
Now you are confused right? Your thinking what does this have to do with BE, DO and HAVE. The gist of this idea is that many people when they are creating their dreams focus on the HAVE. When I have this…I will DO this or BE this. Wise teachers instruct us, it is who we BE is what generates the DO & HAVE. If anyone wants to learn more about this, let me know and I will be happy to share more on this topic.
I realized for myself personally it is the “GREAT I AM” first and foremost. I have in the past and will continue in the future to beat myself up for my perceived weaknesses. Let’s face it, I am human. When I have worked on “Who I BE,” there was always this wishful thinking, because I was confused that there was any possible way I already was. Our mind can really confuse us and make us think we are much less than what we are. Our mind does this partly to humble us, and partly to help us learn about our own magnificence.
"I am" statements are very important to me some examples include: I am a genius and I apply my wisdom; I have a balanced perspective of building long-term wealth; Whatever I think about and thank about I bring about; I invest in inspiration, not desperation; I am a master of my thoughts, and whatever I think about, I manifest or become. (Borrowed from Dr. John F. Demartini: www.drdemartini.com)
The really cool thing about doing the Demartini Method is that you have the opportunity to own the traits you think you need , and then realize they already exist for you in your life, in your unique form. An example is: There are just as many individuals on this planet that know me as an AMAZING communicator as there are who perceive me as having more to learn. Both of you are quite shocked at this very moment and probably disagree with me both ways! FUNNY HUH!?
If you, or anyone you know would like to learn more about themselves and uncovering their magnificane. Well, you know… you can have them get in touch with me. Now, since I am not a perfect match for everyone, if you are interested in the topic, but not from me, I will be happy to share with you others you can learn from that do what I do.
Why do I do this work? Everyday, if I am able to open one person’s eyes just enough to see even a little bit of the pure magnificence that they are exactly as they are, my day has been worth living. Thank you for reading this. If you want to learn more you can find me at: www.robinsonequation.com

The Truth about Opportunities
I don’t know about many of you, but I used to be run by the “opportunity paradox.” The most painful area of opportunities in my life had do with dating, though has applied to all areas of my life. Since the age of 12 I had been scheming on how to be with the perfect guy. I absolutely had to find the perfect man to “save” me from my parents. Ironically, that never happened. You know why… I learned I really didn’t need saving.
Now… How does this apply to “opportunities?” Hang in with me a little bit and let’s find out.
My friends in their frustration, with me and my fantasy of being with the man of my dreams, decided that I was too narrow minded. They kept telling me over and over: “Your expectations of a man are too high.” I didn’t understand. What I heard them saying was, “Your not good enough for the man you think you want to be with.”
Have you ever felt this way? Have you been told or understood: the career expectations you have are too high; the amount of money you want to make is unrealistic, or having the body of your dreams is impractical? Possibly you have heard similar things about areas that are of more interest to you, though I am certain you have experienced this in one way shape or form.
Well, I decided my friends might be right. Maybe, just maybe I was being too narrow minded about the type of guy I wanted to be with. I started going out with just about anyone who was breathing. Do you know what it is like to go out on a date with someone who you know , that you know, that you feel nothing for this person. Wow…It felt like a total waste of TIME! You know what I learned, I do know what I am attracted to and I know how to spend my valuable time with those I enjoy according to my vlaues.
I still wasn’t “succeeding” in my dating relationships. I still wasn’t with the man of my dreams. You know, the one who was going to “SAVE ME!” What was wrong with me? I graduated from college, I had a great job, I had lots of friends who felt sorry for me. Why couldn’t I do something as simple as this? What was my dysfunction? People everywhere were succeeding at relationships while I was chalking up failure after failure. Have you ever felt this way in your life about something that was important to you; familially, vocationally, financially, spiritually, socially, mentally and/or physically?
Finally I had it!!!! I quit dating completely! For about two years I decided to forget about men and completely focus on what I love to do. I took myself on dates, I took long baths, I got myself massages, and I began the process of loving myself.
Up to that point I had thought that I loved myself. In fact, I was at a seminar where Cherrie Carter-Scott was talking about- ‘one has to truly love them self before they can really be effective in attracting a quality relationship.’ The light bulb started coming on for me. I loved only the things about myself that I thought were worthy of love. I didn’t realize that all of me, both the good and the bad were worthy of love. Hmmmmm- enlightment!?! Maybe at least the beginnings.
Fortunately about this time I came across Dr. Demartini and “The Breakthrough Experience.” Wow, a drastic difference this made for me in my life. It helped me to realize that my faults were lovable. You mean, I can actually fart and the man I am with will still love me? You mean… I can really get mad at the man I love and tell him how I feel and he will still love me? I can still be cranky and mean? What? Are you serious?
I know those of you reading this will think I am silly, but this is a huge breakthrough for me. ( We all have our areas of stupidity. LOL)
When I let go of pretending to be who I thought others expected me to be, and got on with just being me, well my world changed! Within three months after that I met my fiancé. He loves me for me: the brat in me, the lover, the farter, the nurturer, the taker/giver. He just loves me, and doesn’t want to change me one bit. The cool thing is, I love him for exactly who he is. There is nothing to change, and the perceived imperfection I might feel on occasion, well I have learned that is what truly makes him perfect. It also is what makes me perfect- my percieved imperfections.
I am certain you are saying to yourself, I thought this was going to be about opportunities. Well, in life we have lots of opportunities. Opportunities are as certain and plentiful as the sun rising everyday with an abundance of light. Sometimes in our perception the day is cloudy and there are few opportunities. It is just our perceptions clouding the truth in our lives.
We get desperate trying to force or create what we want in our life trying to be something we aren’t. Opportunities that work or don’t work in our perceptions are helping us to learn how to love ourselves for who we are. Some opportunities we take, are endeavors to try to force ourselves to be something that we aren’t. After that we might feel let down, or manipulated, possibly even cheated. You are deserving of all opportunities that occur in your life, and you are worthy of choosing the ones that allow you to be you. Choose the opportunities where you do not have to be a pretender. Choose instead the ones that are in alignment with your values and your authentic self. Choose the ones where your strengths and talents can be used you will be rewarded with increased vitality and energy like you have never known before.
Quit alluding yourself. Find out your real truth, and what your values are. Be who you really are, the world deserves your authentic you, and is willing to embrace the real you (the whole you)! Doing this empowers all seven areas of your life (spiritual, financial, mental, vocational, familial, social, and physical).
If you would like to learn more about who the real you is or what your real hierarchy of values really are contact me at: www.robinsonequation.com. Why? BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT! Why me? BECAUSE I KNOW YOUR DESERVE IT! ;)

WHAT!?! You were EXPELLED???
Today I am going to share with you about a moment in my life that many of you might be ashamed of me for me. Folks, those of you who do not know me well might not be aware of my opinionated mouth. When I was in 8th grade my big mouth got me into what you might think as big trouble, and in reality it set me free, and continues to do so today. I share this story with you, as you might have children or friends that have a big opinionated mouth too. This is an opportunity where you may learn of the blessings of just such a gift and might go so far as using it in your life.
When I was a kid I perceived my dad as a big mean bad dude who was a totalitarian in my life. That is not really how it was, it was just my perception. Well… since my dad sheltered me, fed me, clothed me and also gave me $$ for fun things I subordinated myself to his belief system to survive. At that time I was not aware of an alternate strategy to get all of the things I wanted and needed. Do you know what it is like to stifle yourself for someone else’s beliefs? Well put it this way… I was a walking BOMB of emotion ready to explode at any minute!
My parents thought highly of parochial school, and I attend this type of school 10/12 years of general education in the US. While parochial education is valuable there are a number of drawbacks to this type of education. For me personally my educational growth was limited. Usually the teachers that taught us were managing 3-4 grades in one class room. The attention to each class was phenomenal when there were challenging learning experiences, but the teacher was limited to how challenging he/she could make it, as they had to set many of the classes for all grades they were teaching. I received an excellent education for me at that time, though often I was bored with not being challenged enough.
During my 7th grade year three of my classmates were allowed to take 7th and 8th grade at one time and advance to high school. WOW!, was I ever jealous. I was so eager at this point to be in high school, and as far away from my parents as I could possibly be. My mom was a total brat and wouldn’t let me do this. She made me stick with the original program of 7th one year and 8th the next. She was selfish and didn’t want me to grow up to fast. Her wisdom was… “don’t rush it Janis, you have your whole life to live." Also, I think she just wanted me around a little longer, before I grew up too much, and would leave her to find a new mission and purpose in her own life.
I do not really remember the circumstances of the situation, and I clearly remember the results: GETTING EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL. So, here I am in 8th grade within 1-2 weeks of beginning the new school year. Mrs. Hansen was clearly doing something wrong according to my values. Mind you, she was being who she is, exactly as she is, not good, not bad, just real. Well, I decided to stand up in the room of 25-30 students and promptly give my perceived valuable opinion of just how inadequate she was as a teacher and principal of the school.
Clearly based on results this might not have been a wise strategy to some of you. For me, it was the very best possible strategy at the time. Remember, I mentioned I was a bored, emotional BOMB, ready to blow. Mrs. Hansen had NOTHING over me, she did not feed me, shelter me, cloth me or at this point give me anything I wanted. I felt quite safe in verbalizing my opinion. Well… to put it bluntly all ‘hell’ broke loose.
Suddenly I was requested not to come back to school. Thankfully the school board met with Mrs. Hansen and agreed that I was not wanted back at school. THEY REJECTED ME! The despair of my actions bothered me for a week or so. I had regret of acting out so outrageously. I cried tears of sadness, not for what I had done, but for being rejected for sharing my opinions. I was so angry that these Bible do-gooders couldn’t love me for who I was. I now know, they did love me for who I am, and that tough love was the best thing they could have ever done. I am so grateful they followed through on what they perceived as the best action.
I had the privilege of attending public school that year in my home town. At parochial school our 8th grade class was a group of 3 with one teacher shared all day and then to 2 after I left. ;). At my new school, I was now in a class of 100 students and a different teacher for EVERY CLASS. My mind was finally being stimulated to levels I hadn’t realized available to me. I actually was able to be in classes that challenged me mentally like never before. It was awesome to be able to be with so many more people and have new challenges. I had both good and bad moments that year with classes and fellow students. I had competitions and challenges. I had the opportunity for more people to like me or dislike me. The end result… I calmed, as I had so many more ways to express myself and grow.
If any of you have blown up or done in your perception terrible and awful things…look in your life and see how it has benefited you. Be thankful to those who you perceive have rejected you in the process. By them rejecting you, it moved you to new people, new experiences etc. where you needed to be to grow to your next level. Quite possibly had you stayed in that current situation you may have become stagnated and felt as if you were dying.
If you would like to learn more about loving the perceived mistakes or errors in your life, get in touch with me or any of the other Demartini Method consultants/Facilitators and learn of the magnificence of your life. Parents, do this for your children. If you want to learn more check out www.robinsonequation.com .
Oh… Mrs. Hansen and the school board: Thank you for being you exactly who you are! You have played a huge part in my life in becoming who I am. Because of you, I am reaching and teaching millions of people about true love of self regardless of illusions we might have. Thank you for serving me, my life, and the lives of those whom I touch.

Scammers and How They Serve US
Wow... What a fun time in the economy now. This is a great time where lots of individuals are being set free from their jobs and encouraged to find new and different ways of making a living.
I personally in the past have done hundreds of different things to increase my income. One of the ways I did this was through real estate seminars and MLMs. Now both of these might have bad connotations to some. Some avoid experiences these types of things at all cost and others jump in- some with money and with actual effort.
I personal have spent thousands of $$$$ on just such things. In fact, I have charged money up on my creditcards thinking... THIS IS IT... I AM GONIG TO BECOME RICH! Yeah right...
Now many of you are thinking... I KNOW WHY, CAUSE IT IS A SCAM...Actually, that is not why these don't work. Are some of them scams. What I found for my self was that I WAS THE SCAM! I was going after the money in hopes of becoming wealthy so then I could do what I love. I was scamming myself into doing and being something I clearly am not. Also, when you don't really love or value a product, how in the heck can you sell it? I know, there are some very talented people out there who are capapble of selling anything because they LOVE to sell.
Truthfully, I was never scammed by any of the many things I have put my hard earned money into. What it did for me was to help me realize the tremendous value in doing what you love. When you do what you love you naturally work diligently at it. When you do what you think you need to do just get wealthy and don't love it... well that is what is call HARD WORK or HEAVEY LABOR.
Be open, see what is out there if you are looking for something new. Go for it, if you are really willing to do what it takes to make it work and you LOVE IT. Love it people... otherwise... it will mearly be another nugget of learning wisdom in your journey of life.
If you or anyone you know would like more clarity on what they LOVE TO DO, check out... wwww.robinsonequation.com.
OH Yeah... THANK GOD for perceived scammers as they have enabled me to create for me: PURPOSE, CLARITY and VISION of doing what I love in my life.

Janis Rants
Today is my first day EVER blogging. Hmmmm... To think I would ever be blogging has got to be the weirdest idea ever. Today I am a virgin blogger. Watch out world... Tomorrow I will be better and the day after that ... well AWESEOME of course.
I am going to Rant about relationships today. Often times people say they feel they have been BETRAYED in a relationship. Now... I am going to offend many of you... but this is the facts and I stand behind my strange beliefs. NO ONE EVERY BETRAYS ANYONE. The person that feels betrayed has been living in a fantasy the other person is miraculously going to give up thier values and live only according to the "betrayed person's" values. That is RIDICULOUS!
My finace' has an on going affair at ALL TIMES! Do I sometimes feel betrayed. Yes, when I am stupid enough to believe that there is any chance humanly possible that he will choose me over Golf. Never going to happen. As long as I love him for his love affair with Golf we get along perfectly. When I decide I need to come before golf...well problems ensue.
I have an ongoing affair of my own. I LOVE to learn. If I had a choice of spending the weekend with him or going to a new cutting edge seminar on Personal Development...Well I'll be at the seminar texting him on breaks if I'm not to involved in my learning.
So. Where are your highest values. What really comes first for you in your life? Don't be appalled with those you love when they follow their highest values... Love them for who they are and value the QUALITY time you get to share and get over "needing" QUANTITY TIME!
YOU ARE LOVED! Janis

The person that feels betrayed has been living in a fantasy the other person is miraculously going to give up thier values and live only according to the "betrayed person's" values. That is RIDICULOUS!
My finace' has an on going affair at ALL TIMES! Do I sometimes feel betrayed. Yes, when I am stupid enough to believe that there is any chance humanly possible that he will choose me over Golf. Never going to happen. As long as I love him for his love affair with Golf we get along perfectly. When I decide I need to come before golf...well problems ensue.
I have an ongoing affair of my own. I LOVE to learn. If I had a choice of spending the weekend with him or going to a new cutting edge seminar on Personal Development...Well I'll be at the seminar texting him on breaks if I'm not to involved in my learning.
So. Where are your highest values. What really comes first for you in your life? Don't be appalled with those you love when they follow their highest values... Love them for who they are and value the QUALITY time you get to share and get over "needing" QUANTITY TIME!
YOU ARE LOVED! Janis
