1. We exist in a state of “ease and flow”

2. We experience “something to learn” (often times painful and confusing)

3. We have a choice:

a. We may chose to be curious and move toward wonder, or….

b. We may choose defense…..

4. And, we have a choice:

a. We may chose to be curious and move toward wonder, or….

b. We may go deeper into defense and become more fearful, taking on the role of:

i. Victim

ii. Perpetrator

iii. Rescuer

5. And again, we have a choice:

b. We may stay in the domain known as “The GRIP” for a long time….

6. And, we still have a choice……..

Of course, all this could be wrong……..
