Leo Buscaglia said, “We are literally addicted to weird ideas, and we don’t now how to shake ourselves free of them.” The problem is a lack of awareness of who we really are and more importantly the potential of who we are capable of becoming.

We are addicted to them because they are comfortable, they make us feel safe, we are secure in our reality – the reality constructed by someone else.

His response was shocking and unexpected. Next . . .
