What A Therapist Is–And Isn’t

Posted on December 16, 2008 by D3 Support

A therapist is not your doctor; a therapist is your guide. A therapist does not “do” something “to” you to make you better. A therapist goes with you–sometimes advising, sometimes guiding, sometimes simply being there. A therapist is not your … Continue reading →

Nothing in Return?

Posted on December 15, 2008 by D3 Support

“She did me this favor, expecting nothing in return.” Most of us consider this a GOOD thing. I don’t. If someone does something nice for me — free of charge, and not asking for an exchange — then I assume … Continue reading →

Being Equal Doesn’t Mean Being Even

Posted on December 14, 2008 by D3 Support

Being equal isn’t the same as being even. You can be equal in stature — though not in ability. The opportunity of freedom can be equal for everyone; but this does not guarantee (or require) equality of outcome. Many people … Continue reading →

Friendship is Mutual

Posted on December 13, 2008 by D3 Support

A friend is someone who, by definition, gives you benefit because of who he or she is. It’s not a tangible benefit — such as money, or property. A tangible benefit arises in a business transaction, not in a friendship … Continue reading →

Where Greed Comes From

Posted on December 12, 2008 by D3 Support

Greed doesn’t happen in a rational, self-responsible context. Greed happens in an emotional context of entitlement. “I should have this … I am entitled to this … I WILL have this!” Witness the feeding frenzy in Washington DC to bail … Continue reading →

Capitalism’s Comeback

Posted on December 11, 2008 by D3 Support

The reason that socialism and fascism (i.e., government nationalization of private companies) are both on the rise in the U.S. is because capitalism is presumed to have seriously faltered — if not failed. The  faulty premise here is the assumption … Continue reading →

How to Prevent the Next Great Depression

Posted on December 10, 2008 by D3 Support

When you spread the wealth, you get … equality. When you permit the creation of wealth, you get … a higher standard of living for all. When you spread the wealth, you get … the last of what’s left, equally … Continue reading →

You Choose Your Obligations

Posted on December 9, 2008 by D3 Support

There’s no such thing as an obligation you didn’t choose. You could say that you didn’t choose to be born–and that it’s therefore your obligation to thrive and survive. But even this is a choice. You can commit suicide; even … Continue reading →

Toward Freedom and Dignity

Posted on December 5, 2008 by D3 Support

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. –Victor Frankl (The Daily Dose of Reason Returns on Tuesday)

Two Types of “Bossy”

Posted on December 4, 2008 by D3 Support

There are two kinds of people perceived as “bossy.” The first really means well. He wants to see something done right, and he’s objective in his approach. He looks at facts and determines what makes most sense. He actually is … Continue reading →

America, Watch and Learn

Posted on December 3, 2008 by D3 Support

I don’t get it. The American auto industry is failing. For whatever reasons, they can no longer make a profit. Note that people still want cars … It’s just that not as many want American cars as foreign cars, since … Continue reading →

Priority Time

Posted on December 2, 2008 by D3 Support

Time is often our enemy. But why? Time is simply a measurement of reality. Reality is not an enemy, not to a reasonable person. The problem is that most of us have more priorities than time. The existence of time … Continue reading →
