“A willingness to see ourselves in perspective, and to view our problems as relatively routine, provides the emotional space to think more broadly and deeply.”— John Engels

January 2012: A Year of Perspective
DECEMBER 31, 2011I live in a two-faced world.
It’s a world of highly-motivated entrepreneurs, business leaders, and the employees and advisors who help them succeed.
It’s a world where accomplishments bring great rewards: uncommon financial stability, nice homes, safe neighborhoods, and life/work privileges too numerous to mention.
It’s also a world where the over-pursuit of achievement ruins lives, where the unregulated strain of constantly pushing to “get it right” – at home and at work – has led some of my clients to chronic anger, distance and isolation, depression, diverticulitis, obesity, unrelenting back pain, heart disease, Lyme disease, symptom-development in their children, marital affairs and breakups, and common self-reports of “I never feel like I’m doing enough” and “I love it, but it’s killing me.”
