It’s been a source of shame for me. Social anxiety. Avoiding people – just wanting to be left alone, period. And then I stay up […]

For most of us, most of the time, acceptance represents a change. A big one. In all my years of coaching, one thing has been consistent: Unless you acknowledge and accept a problem, you cannot change it. Often, nothing more is necessary in order to get what you want.

Of course, there is no list of questions that are guaranteed to bring about enlightenment. Anyone on the path to enlightenment already knows that. Enlightenment News would look pretty foolish if we prescribed a set of questions!
