Rescue and Scott Fried

I got to listen to a talk yesterday by one of the most dynamic and amazing speakers I've heard in a long time.  His name is Scott Fried  http://www.scottfried.com/

He was talking about Rescue and how the roots of the word mean two things.  Dance and Affliction.  What a beautiful truth.  He talked about the opportunity that challenges, problems and painful situations can offer.

Afterward, I was talking to him.  He was one of the most optimistic people I've listenend to.  He obviously had a grasp keeping his focus on what he wished instead of wrapping himself up in a negative message.  And yet… I found myself telling him the issue I have with the “Secret”.  It simplifies a way of living and does not hold the accountability that is necessary for growth.  I believe in the law of attraction.  I also believe that when we short change the impeccable universe by declining things that are not to our taste…. we do not learn to dance.

I believe in accountability.  I believe in being honest with how you're feeling and in that truth also reaching for what you want.

I was really incredibly impressed with this man and his story and the hope and courage that he offered to each person present.
