David to Gary re Jack Canfield to Vasconcellos comments - Self Esteem 10

Gary,

This is the response from Jack Canfield the author of all those 'chicken soup for the soul and ____' books. His responses shine a light on our communication problems - many of his translations of the meanings are within the very trap he implies he is free from ( 'outside-in'). I suggest you bring Nathanson up to speed on this thread and proceed to get him and this group into dialogue. Canfield has a big public microphone. L, DB

<< I really like everything David says here. Important concepts. This has
always been my approach to self-esteem -- (as well as creating loving, safe
environments) teaching kids (and adults) how to observe their own internal
processes and reduce or elimnate the self-destructive ones and how to develop
self-accepting and self-empowering ones.
AMEN!

It is learning how to be in charge rather than reflexive in the area of
beliefs, thoughts, self-judgements, internal images of self (as well as
others and the world), expectations, intentions, etc.

AGAIN, AMEN!
+ IT ENTAILS OPENING UP DEEPLY ENOUGH WITHIN, TO OURSELVES, OUR EMOTIONS, OR
BODIES - SO THAT EACH OF US TRULY BECOMES THE AUTHOR OF OUR CHOICES, ACTIONS.

I like the level of dialogue that is being created by all of this. Thanks,
John. -- 

SURE, JACK - THAT'S ONE OF THE FINEST BENEFITS, OPPORTUNITIES, THIS POSITION
PROVIDES ME - - -
