It is simply a matter of redirecting a force that could have been opposed.Like Jiu-Jitsu, it...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Condition or definition?
- In talking with a coaching client recently, she made a statement about a negative habit followed by these words: "that's just who I am." I challenged her to re-examine what she had said.
