Black and white thinking limits understanding and feedback, two necessary ingredients for successful resolution in creative conflict and successful understanding.

People who are unwilling to talk about deep personal issues do not trust their own emotions.

Change will not successfully happen unless the emotional component is solved.

Being real is being true to you.

The strange part about a person’s lack of trust is that it often comes from not trusting themselves.

Honoring your word is the fiber from which trust is built.

When you wear a mask, you are not real.

REAL people do not have to lie, exaggerate, or brag for they are self-contained in self-understanding and acceptance of themselves. REAL people can make a mistake knowing that even when they do, it is only a mistake and just because the outcome was not to their liking, they know…THEY are not a mistake. REAL have the attitude this is who I am…and I am good enough, right now…just as I am. People who have chosen REAL have already clicked their heals together and returned home.
