How to offensively guard your peace and defensively reject limiting contracts that drive conflict.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse for its consequences. Learn life's principles, balance your Quadrants of Being, and pull the weeds that threaten your mission.
READ CHAPTER 3 NOWIs this you?
Consider the current burnout culture among middle aged women in America. The typical woman who is desperate to end her marriage, liberate herself from burdens, and find the next great escape often looks like the following individual:
- She is working to earn income and her schedule and role are demanding
- She is committed to providing and caring for her family as best she can
- She is overcommitted to other activities that she enjoys, yet require her effort
- She focuses on everyone else’s needs before she invests in her own
- She is driven by the necessity of doing whatever it takes for her family
“When an individual grasps for emergency relief for themselves just for the sake of existing, or in the name of ‘keep it moving,’ this is evidence of a Personal Jurisdiction failure.”
You borrow from one quadrant of your being to compensate for another. Yet by doing so, you create internal conflict with yourself.
