“Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.” (Fyodor Dostoevsky)

The biggest barrier to creating the great relationships we crave most has always been, and will always be, our fear. We are all, at varying levels, afraid of change — even if it’s the change we’ve always wanted. We say we want to have a better relationship with our teenagers, but with their door closed or their face buried in their phone we shy away from making an awkward interruption. We say we want to improve our sexual connection with our mate, but when we actually think about sending that inviting text, or making that gentle but unmistakable move…well, the TV’s always “turned on.”

Say the word. Make the move. Create the new.
