Self-Help Hogwash

I do not believe the cliche “all things happen for a reason” as many use it…when something bad happens there is some ‘reason’ why it happened and your job is to find out what that reason is and learn from it. Hogwash. There is only one reason anything happens and that is because the purpose...

In my last post I told of my surprise and delight of finding a child’s DiSC Behavioral Profile from 7 31 89 completed by my daughter. The self-report gave a list of statements that were supposedly true of her 21 years ago at age 5. I then wrote and asked her to let me know...
