Sure, I can learn from my failures, figure out what to change to achieve a different result next time. But what qualifies as success? (Here’s a link to a post I enjoyed on achieving “success.”) […]

I agree, motivational stuff is crap if you don’t follow it up with action. I suppose the main reason people keep buying motivational books etc. is that it does move them to take some action for a short period of time.

I love this post because it resonates with so much, I feel inside myself, and I too, recall that episode of Criminal Minds & the sense of futility it leaves one with.

Kristen, I’ve searched your blog for a post on synopses, but the home page just reloads. As far as I can tell, anyway. Do you have one? If not, can you write one, offer a class, or direct me to a helpful book or post? Thanks!

You know… I’ve listened to motivational speakers, and even though I learned how to hate some of them, others were really good. Understanding, compassionate, helpful.

It reminded me to pick it up again and read it.
