There is a real challenge to uphold and develop positive internal scripts for ourselves in the face of the fall-out of greed and spiritual ignorance. A kind of defiant 'this is who I am', which is, of course, related to what you're talking about around soul. Thanks for bringing an enlightening response to the current climate. Dear Christine
Your observations and insights are inspiring. There is a real challenge to uphold and develop positive internal scripts for ourselves in the face of the fall-out of greed and spiritual ignorance. A kind of defiant ‘this is who I am’, which is, of course, related to what you’re talking about around soul.

Thanks for bringing an enlightening response to the current climate.

I really believe that there's opportunity in the midst of all the chaos right now. I think that our natural tendency is to protect ourselves, control things, and try to get things back on an even keel. I suppose we all feel safe that way. I suspect that things will never go back to how they were and that until a new stability arrives things will be difficult. But if we can see the time in between as having potential, rather than being a gap, something we might never have imagined can emerge. Thanks, Bobby.

I fear people at the top do find it "tough at the top" but are too afraid to admit to this personal fear in case they look weak, silly or out of control - the establishment, after all, pounces on this like a hungry tiger and weakness will be punished. The irony (as I'm sure you are driving at here) is that out of this deepest, darkest, lowest point of despair comes real strength, direction and purpose - an energy so true and pure your clients will wonder why they hadn't ever been able to find it before. Well done on helping others find the only true source of energy that matters in good times and bad. I guess that is the essence of A Different Kind of Work? Hi Christine,
