- Lead with hurt. Hurt is a true emotion and it draws others in. Do not lead with anger, which masks hurt. Anger pushes people away.
I like that! Makes a lot of sense. Our inclination is to help those that are hurting, but to push away or fight those that are angry.

As far as expectations go, I know we're supposed to have none but the million dollar question is HOW to let go of expectations? Is there a mantra to recite or something?
If only there were, LOL! Expectations have been my achille's heel throughout my DB'ing. They are like angry monsters that you try to lock in a room but they constantly gnaw at the door and walls to force their way out. The minute you quit thinking about them they sneak up behind you and claw all your hard work to pieces.
Expectations have set me back in my DB'ing more than anything else. I just try to remember how they've hurt my progress and remind myself of those slips to keep myself from getting swept up in them again.
