If they're on this board and coming back they
probably are trying...

I've made some changes towards the positive
since studying my pictogrigm and since reading,
emailing and getting validation from a lot of
you....

One of the things which was holding me back and
perhaps this is true of your friend as well
are the negative messages floating around in
my head from past conditioning...Gordon suggested
I look at the pictogrigm and focus on the
time line and what I wanted..It helps to see
DEATH at the end and then ask what experiences
do YOU want between now and the end....

Sometimes the difference between lack of motivation and doing is one of understanding.
Even though your friend may be very intellectual
and intelligent there still could be something
they don't understand or an area needing validation...
