\"stones\"<\/a>As I have mentioned before, I have mentors living and dead.\u00a0 My favorite therapist, Milton Erickson, has been dead for quite some time. Fortunately there are\u00a0so many books analyzing his\u00a0life work.\u00a0 Recently\u00a0I have been having synchronicities all around me helping me.<\/p>\n

I was reading last night “Conversations With Milton Erickson Volume One” and found that Milton too expressed being disturbed at times. He said there were times “when I know a patient is going to go and deliberately give up”.<\/p>\n

People sometimes say they want change and do whatever they can to avoid it.\u00a0 They prefer the comfort, predictability, and the perceived benefits of being a victim over the discomfort, change, forgiveness and personal responsibility of change.<\/p>\n

A mentor and friend of mine here in town reminded me that sometimes a visit to me will be a seed that will begin to grow in its own time, perhaps months or years from now.\u00a0 I\u00a0know\u00a0 this is true.<\/p>\n
