He has only very very few. Maybe a dozen or so. He doesn't need more than that because they're quite powerful--at least for as long as they remain buried in our unconscious minds. Once we identify the lies that motivate our destructive behavior, those lies seem to have less control over us.Rita Hancock MDhttp://www.theedendiet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845574752812091685.post-26248040547246748562009-03-04T09:27:00.000-05:002009-03-04T09:27:00.000-05:00This is a great, practical post.

Controlling. sigh...<BR/><BR/>This study is so difficult, and yet I'm so desperate for it. =) Thank you for keeping this up - for being real - for making it practical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845574752812091685.post-29199579334801873522009-03-04T03:47:00.000-05:002009-03-04T03:47:00.000-05:00Have you ever read John Bradshaw, Your Inner Child...Have you ever read John Bradshaw, Your Inner Child? Core Lies is very close in content. Words are different but the same soul searching, working and enlightenment. It seems as though all it takes is a period of a couple of decades and someone comes up with a book that closely mirrors what we've read in the past.<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying reading your blog. It's helping me to bring back to the surface parts of me that still need a lot of hard work.♥Mimi♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/02962332639467877386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845574752812091685.post-72502571106206262002009-03-03T18:49:00.000-05:002009-03-03T18:49:00.000-05:00Thanks Sarah Mae!

The more I read, the more I want others to know what you're saying. There is such truth and freedom here.

I...I know I'm on the verge of figuring it all out! I do agree with Isabel - I want everyone to like me!<BR/><BR/>The goals that stood out the most for me - to succeed, to be right (especially with hubby), and to be good enough. I know one way the success one has affected me through the years - if there is a chance I won't be really good at something, I tend to not even try. Oh so many ideas I have had, but won't try for fear of rejection or making a mistake or failure.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this series! Need to see more of how all this ties in and I need to pray about it.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are feeling well and getting some sleep!

Well, my husband gives me that day after day...whether I'm perfect or not. So what is it I'm really after? Honestly, I'm still trying to break this down. But getting the revelation has already freed me to love more! It's freed me to be a better me and love my children better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845574752812091685.post-36216843184213924282009-03-03T11:43:00.000-05:002009-03-03T11:43:00.000-05:00Wow.

Even "perfect" is not good enough. I have to be EXCEPTIONAL. Original. Unique. Outstanding.<BR/><BR/>I live in terror of waking up and discovering I am a normal, average, un-inspiring person. I'm so afraid of becoming the status-quo.<BR/><BR/>I put a lot of pressure on myself to "wow" people in everything I do. And it's so prideful and wrong. It keeps me from seeing my value as a child of God, and realizing that value is completely separate from what I do, say, and accomplish.Rebornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422130934560539246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845574752812091685.post-10855378585674966602009-03-03T11:25:00.001-05:002009-03-03T11:25:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798325696285186462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845574752812091685.post-90476142270280041912009-03-03T11:25:00.000-05:002009-03-03T11:25:00.000-05:00What a great series!

I then let fear take over and due to the gift of an amazing imagination, I constantly fear the worst. Each day I prepare for the "fact" that my husband may not return home to me (due to an accident). Each night I wonder if my baby girl will wake up in the morning. Every morning I wonder if I will make it through the day. I try really hard to push past these, but I'm so tired of feeling this way.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for tackling the big "stuff". I'm praying hard!Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/01304243214078198691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845574752812091685.post-87491841521869955422009-03-03T09:14:00.000-05:002009-03-03T09:14:00.000-05:00This is a great series.

I'm discovering so many things thanks to this series.Have I been living a lie all these years?<BR/><BR/>My impossible goal is wanting everyone to like me! I freak out at the thought of hurting or displeasing anyone because I'm afraid I won't be liked anymore. And this does find it's roots in childhood. I have been aware of this people pleasing thing lately but not through this perspective.<BR/><BR/>Another one very impossible goal is being a perfect mother! Which of course I'm not. This is causing me a lot of frustration and stress because I fail at being a perfect mother , say 7 times a day??<BR/><BR/>Yes I'm thristy for more! and I'm coming back for more!!Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436630414457314465noreply@blogger.com
