had a herd of goats who provided his family and community with milk and cheese. One day, a curious-and-often-getting-himself-in-trouble little kid (the term for young goat) named Royce strayed from the herd and found that he had tumbled into a deserted well. Straight down he fell with no apparent way out of the hole. Royce cried and cried, attracting the attention of the farmer. After numerous attempts to save Royce, the farmer could no longer stand his bleating pleas for help so he decided the only thing he could do was to put the kid out of its misery and bury it in the well. He invited his neighbors to assist him in the painful and the only way conceivable way the farmer could see to put an end to the problem. Royce stood at the bottom of the well, sad and dejected. He was unaware of the farmer's plan was for him. He had grown tired of crying for help. He changed his strategy to deep thinking and trust that he would soon be presented with a solution if he kept his eyes, mind and heart open. He simply knew the tools to his freedom would appear. He spent time in quiet contemplation, allowing peace to fill him where the sadness used to be. He meditated, focusing on his breathing. As he felt contentment rise from deep within his spirit, he found himself surrounded in raining dirt from above. He noted the dirt with curiosity as he saw his hoofs were quickly covered with its brownness. He realized something in that moment and took action. Meanwhile, the farmer sadly took his shovel and continued to put more dirt into the well. He had noticed how quiet it was down in the well, and he was beginning to grieve for the curious-and-often-getting-himself-in-trouble little kid named Royce. After shoveling what seemed like a huge mountain of soil into the well, the farmer suddenly heard the familiar sound of Royce's call. Looking into the well, he saw that the smart and innovative little kid had used the dirt he had thrown down the well as stairs to freedom instead of as covering to his own grave. Excitedly, the farmer added more and more dirt until Royce scampered out of the well and back to his herd and his family. Questions to ponder: When you are in a hole and dirt falls down around your feet, what do you see? A step to freedom or a covering to your grave? How can you use 'the dirt' that shows up in your life as the foundation for your future success? How do you label yourself? Do you call yourself more frequesntly something like: 'curious-and-often-getting-himself-in-trouble little kid named (fill in your name)' OR do you call yourself: 'smart and innovative little kid'? Which would empower you more? It is Eleanor Roosevelt who said, 'I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiousity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.' Facing your life means taking whatever dirt is thrown your way and being curious with it. Accessing the lessons it is meant to give you. Embracing each moment without judging or punishing or making it wrong. Live as Royce, the Kid.

HOW TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY The key to happiness is taking full responsibility for us and our life. I have worked with many clients who have experienced abuse in one form or the other in their lives and there are 2 common factors they experience: they all have a sense of anger, associated with a sense of powerlessness, and they struggle to take full responsibility and be happy. Ok, now I hear some people who might say:' They are not taking responsibility for their lives', or 'They only do self-pity'. No, no, no, I do not a… 3. Starting-Over. I worked hard for the past 17 years. I felt I had to. I only finished high school. Without a certificate to flaunt and yet wanting to climb the corporate ladder, I dedicated my effort and time to my work. I was proud of myself. At 40 years old I had reached a manager's position. The day came when I was handed the letter. Why did the company fire me? Was I not good enough? It was a massive blow to my ego. My questions only brought back anger. I was not resourceful and I could not see any positive… 4. 7 Key Steps to Unshakable Confidence You are welcome to reprint the following article on your website or in your opt-in newsletter or ezine.
