When your top-level values are being met in your relationships, the rest of it usually works out. When they aren’t, you suffer, and the relationship often fails. Every relationship, whether it’s platonic, romantic, or family, contains components that make up what we value.

Trust contains confidence and honesty, whereas distrust contains fear and stress. I talk about that and read a few emails making for a variety show today.

When you aren’t getting the results you want today, or you find yourself easily triggered by certain events or people, you may be carrying around old baggage that perhaps requires a level of thinking just outside the box.

Many unresolved emotions sit outside the box of current thinking. If you don’t want to go outside that box, it could be why you’re stuck.
