A Note from Mark Felber

May I be a guard for those that need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those to cross the flood.
May I be a lamp in the darkness

And a resting place for the weary
And a healing medicine for those who are sick
And a vase of plenty for the multitudes of beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening

Enduring like earth and sky
May I also be the source of life
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened together.

~ Shantideva

Learning to Live With (and Love) Yourself

Mary thinks she'd be happy if she could just change her weight, her looks and her job. Sean believes that he's an okay person except for certain personality traits, such as anxiety, impatience and his quick temper. Yolanda's shelves are bulging with self-improvement books; she's read them all but she still hates herself.

Who among us doesn't believe that with a little tweaking, we could be just right--self-realized, self-actualized and self-helped to just short of perfection? But, the problem for many is that all the books, self-improvement tips and positive affirmations don't seem to make us any happier. Worst of all, the minute we "fix" one ugly piece of ourselves, another nasty monster rears it head and starts screaming for attention.

How Defensive Are You?

In her book, Taking the War Out of Our Words: The Art of Powerful Non-Defensive Communication, Sharon Ellison estimates that we use 95% of our communications energy being defensive. Indeed, as soon as we feel any threat, either of not getting what we want or of being harmed or put down in some way, we are ready to protect ourselves by being defensive. Imagine how much more enjoyable our communications could be if we learned how to respond nondefensively and to avoid provoking defensiveness in others! Take this quiz to see how defensive you tend to be.
