What an interesting lunch time event I attended! It was a talk/training on paranormal activity and mental health counseling with a kind of famous paranormal specialist (sorry cannot drop the name). We learned, discussed, and brainstormed.
Thank you Breathe Life Counseling (Katie Gross and Angie Jacobs) for including me!!!

Did you know that often the Catholic Church asks for a mental health therapist to attend exorcisms as a means to help the individual fully overcome the event?! Kudos to the Catholic faith for recognizing mental health therapy as a valuable resource.

Voting ends May 31st - please help us reach #1 in SC!!!!

A recent discussion brought up some interesting stuff. Let me share, in summary, it was stated an athlete had to be on top and make sure others were not acknowledged - the athlete needed to "take the spotlight", so they could gain recognition and reap rewards.
Yes there is only one first place in competition, and rewards and recognition come with that. But there is more than one competition and other placers are often recognized. For example in many individual competition sports All-American status is gained by reaching 7th or 8th place and above.
Taking first place should be about your performance, not about "taking the spotlight". This implies winning or first place is achieved through the expense of others. To be #1 one must rebuke anyone in the placements below them?

This discussion triggered memories of some personal experiences and negative things I have heard from parents of athletes, athletes, and coaches:
▪️"Everyone is competition! Even if they are not in your bracket - YOU are the star, you have to be".
▪️A parent rolled their eyes when another child was hurt and said, "Always an issue to get attention and excuse their loss, now people are attending to them instead of giving attention to the winners" This child went to the hospital before the day was over.
▪️"Why is everyone focusing on that athlete, one win and they get all this attention?" That one win came after years of injury, never achieving first always 2nd or 3rd or not placing, and mental hurdles.
▪️"That team has the money and time to be #1, it is not talent". That team does fundraising year round and earns the money to purchase special training.

No matter your sport, your business, your hobbies, your needs, your wants - it is not about stepping on others to achieve success. Simply go achieve success. YOUR success is not about others. Go ahead shine, show your talent, abilities, and knowledge. Focus on YOU. Success is achieved through inward reflection, hard work, and time invest - not through the rebuking of others. If you are seeking success to steal the spotlight from others, you are not successful, you have simply acquired a piece of success in that moment.

A spiritual guide once told me, "There is enough for everyone". I have remembered and recited that to myself over the years. It provides me confidence and reminds me to focus on what I need and want rather than what others have.

I have compiled some quotes that were brought up in this discussion. I love every one of these quotes and have utilized them in sessions with clients over the years to evoke thought and discussion.

Please give your feedback on any of these quotes or what I have shared in this post!

I will be putting out a monthly Newsletter starting Today! The newsletter will cover mental health topics, schedule of groups and seminars, and other interesting information.
