The first is that we have a sense of control over our life. we consciously choose our RESPONSE to life's challenges rather than habitually re-act. We are active participators rather than helpless victims. This recognises that whilst we can't always change what happens to us, we can change our response to what happens to us. This is a place to share your experiences and progress as you start to choose how to respond and eliminate reaction from your life.

We feel committed to living. We're willing to get emotionally up-to-date with our lives. This may involve a re-focusing of priorities, issues of forgiveness of both ourselves and others or resolving relationship or communication difficulties. To live wholeheartedly in the present we must resolve the issues of the past. In this way we glean the wisdom from the past but don't live with the woundedness of it. This is a place to share your thinking, your progress, your questions with each other about commitment to living.

We feel challenged and excited by our lives. WHat is it that gets our juices flowing and our eyes sparkling? Can we make meaning of our suffering? We need our limiting beliefs to be challenged or we will not grow. Are we living our dream? We feel that we're living the lives we came here to live.

We feel a sense of connection - that we're loved and supported by those we share our life with or that we have a sense of belonging or place. We need a sense of connection to what we consider the sacred or the divine.
