What I didn't realize, but comes our of "A Course in Miracles," is that Love is the opposite of fear. When we are struggling with fear. A great affirmation is: "Fear has no power over me. I am courageous and bathed in the light of love." The other interesting thing about fear is that if we are "in the present" there is no fear. Fear is only manifested from the future. We are always afraid of what "will" happen, sometimes based on what already happened in the past. Hence the idea that if we live in the present moment, fear does not exist.

Sorry, still have trouble saying that, even though I realize it's the lingo these days. <br />But, ultimataly, your own personal experiences are what you have, what you can talk about in a compelling way, and what others relate to. Exclude the personal, and you end up with a cardboard cutout.<br />That said, we don't really need to know that you had a tuna salad for lunch, unless it made you sick (or something).Bridget Murray Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306039774528244541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019174666736639320.post-72041694054084251682009-08-19T14:09:03.638-07:002009-08-19T14:09:03.638-07:00Thanks for this article, you present some great in...Thanks for this article, you present some great information here.

Well, ostensibly about branding but more about whether a writer can survive as a generalist, without specializing. My personal hope is that it's one of those false debates--e.g. which do you need more, sunshine or air?--and doesn't really have to do with branding. Your opinion? <br /><br />How does a generalist approach branding? <br /><br />What are some examples of brands that worked (and why) and brands that never caught on? Are there common elements? <br /><br />How is branding different from and/or related to marketing?Beth H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019174666736639320.post-49701807484489157042009-07-30T11:49:57.292-07:002009-07-30T11:49:57.292-07:00This is such a fantastic story!
