What are we relying on? When we are relying on ourselves and our limitations, it is scary to get out of our comfort zone. We don’t know what will happen.

September 2, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Crossing the Grand Canyon of Disbelief Our self-image (who we think we are) is an incredibly powerful force in our lives. And, most often people have a “less than” opinion of themselves.
