I considered you a very positive person to be around in my early 20's at CHSR-FM. You certainly brought a positive influence to CHSR-FM, and the UNB campus when you were there in the 1980's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220639054035597170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601241775227268396.post-15849770488332004072012-11-09T15:25:00.089-07:002012-11-09T15:25:00.089-07:00You're right Greg.

The internal and external critic really are like the leather-lunged guy at a football game, lots of bluster but you don't see him actually down on the field.

How to turn it around in the face of failing is sometimes even more difficult. The main thing is that it takes a great deal of insight not to blame the blamers - but to figure out why they feel it necessary to blame. It can be incredibly humbling to keep moving forward - but it is necessary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287339616994518131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601241775227268396.post-58256714662529491482012-07-21T13:30:46.133-06:002012-07-21T13:30:46.133-06:00Thank you, thank you!

When I'm trying to focus/meditate/calm my brain - I recite the Serenity Prayer.

The Will plays "wack a mole" with those distracting thoughts. It's like a rudder steering.
