How I stepped out of my comfort-zone

A story about a sea-shells collector and about "too much focusing" on the target.

A call to use a "Green" attitude in communication. It is not only air-pollution we need to be concerned about but also brain-pollution…

Criticism as our mind's default pattern.

Intimacy is directly related to revealing oneself and exposure. And revealing oneself creates the potential for a situation of "hurt":

a situation in which my subject of intimacy is made aware of my weaknesses, aware and able to hurt me, but yet I trust that they won't.

The belief that I give my intimate other originates in the fact that I know that he or she loves me and won't hurt me, that I believe in them, and at the same time I also believe in myself, that I have a significant amount of self-confidence and self-acceptance so that I am not afraid to be who I really am.
