I also decided to develop my conscious or unconscious skills. I studied NLP, Timeline, Covey techniques and many more. I found all of these techniques fascinating.

I enthusiastically traveled both healing and practitioner routes. After three years I discovered, they were same route. As I grew within myself I discovered they were all parts of a toolkit to help in process of healing.

It was always about my personal growth. Whether I was working upon myself or another person, I was always facing a part of my own transition. Whatever issue, I felt that when I was ready, I was always supplied with true answer. I often did not understand question posed, but trusted in answer. The gift, my faith began to take on a more powerful role in my life.

People ask me what has changed in my life. All I can say is that I have experienced and continue to experience greater feelings of peace, joy and happiness than ever before in my life.

I felt my passed was spent swimming against current. Now I spend a great deal of time in still warm waters. At times I also experience joy of being ‘in flow' and moving with current; an astonishing experience.

If I get down, it is only for short periods before I bounce back. In past depressions stayed with me for days or even weeks. In fact as I look back with hindsight upon my earlier life I believe I felt depressed for most of it.

I have stopped blaming other for events that happen in my life and take responsibility for every aspect of my life. I sometimes knee-jerk into blame, but I soon recover and see it differently. A most empowering feeling

As I felt many of fears and worries leave my life, I was better able to be me and empathize with others.

My role was only ever to heal myself. Also to help others, if I can, do same.

Many of us travel a path of pain and depression. Whilst buried in this illusion, many just wish to create or own physical demise, as I did.

If you are in this place there is another way. You do not have to develop a life threatening illness to begin change. It is up to you.

I read that and considered case closed. How fortunate someone who’d been there knew what to do. But there was no response and sympathy cards kept flowing in. Two days later another e-note: “I’ll repeat. Let your tax dollars do something for you for a change. Call FBI. It’s what they do.”

But list is still talking about what to do.

BACK TO MOTHER THERESA

Pamela continued, “Mother Theresa was unmistakably in command. I will NEVER forget it. Everything I read about her since that time has more resonance, more depth, more meaning in light of her as this Commander-in-Chief.”

When I had proposed Mother Theresa to class, what I was after was Intentionality. It’s one of highest-level EQ competencies - meaning what you say and saying what you mean, getting it done, and being accountable to yourself for your motives.

There’s nothing ^soft^ about compassion, or Intentionality, or emotional intelligence. EQ is what drives it all.

"There should be less talk,” said Mother Theresa. “A preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough."

Work on your Intentionality. It will make your life work better for you.
