In my personal life my strengths will help me tremendously. Adaptability could help me in future jobs or relationships. Communication and woo will help to have better relations with people who enter my life and to keep them there. I also like to always think positive. Thinking in positive ways not only makes me feel better about situations, but I know it also helps other people dealing with the situation too.
The loving-kindness of an open heart and the wisdom of an open mind will take us toward sustained health, happiness, and wholesomeness (Dacher, 2006). We will now feel fully alive and increasingly connected to all of life with dissolved confusion, doubts, mental distress, and misunderstanding while healing premature illnesses at the source. With unity consciousness we see directly with the clarity of the inner eye how thing actually exist and work (Dacher, 2006). With patience and practice we can ourselves experience the evolution of witnessing consciousness to calm abiding to unity consciousness. When we finally reach the ability to
Hawkins on the other hand presented a different yet equally as informative model. His concentric circles model was an excellent way of explaining the human personality. Additionally, the checklist seemed to be a handy tool for ensuring therapeutic progress. Hawkins seemed to place a greater emphasis on how to help a client achieve spiritual and psychological maturity. He explained that all parts of the human function are addressed in the healing journey.

These omens provide a sense of connection to their belief and they also find that these signs can often bring them to their purpose in life, as they are interpreted as directional.

In contrast to the previously stated positives, Animism also boasts a list of negatives. Components of this negativity include the constant rituals performed in order to please the (believed) spirits.
By overcoming challenges and obstacles, Josie was empowered to transform her life and come to a greater awareness of self, others and the world. Her initial perspective of ‘the perfect life’ is apparent in Josie’s internal voice-over, “But thank Christ that even in the most tragic of lives, there’s always a sliver of hope… and his name is John Barton”. Josie indicates that John Barton hope and inspiration to the less-fortunate. It is through John Barton’s influence from his life and death to which Josie is lead to convey her perspectives towards life. It is not only through John which Josie shifts her perspectives, but through her Nona, who she has a new understanding of, her Mother, who she has new knowledge of, her father, who she is sensitive
Over time I was able to see the positive the effects these sessions had on the children and their families. Conducting these sessions has taught me the importance of incorporating the foster parents. I was able to help the parents implement techniques and strategies that resulted positive behavior changes in the children. I have never been more ready or eager to take the next step in my journey and begin my studies in mental health counseling. I believe this program will lead me to a fulfilling career, which will be rewarding in terms of the help I will provide to others.
I came away with a better understanding of addiction and the people who are affected by it. I also realized that you can really ever cure addiction and recovery you take day by day; it is a lifelong process. I do wonder if the people who have success with the program have some sort of religious awakening, since the program has a religious aspect to it. In both meetings the core messages seemed to be the same. The meetings were both extremely focused about priorities and personal growth.
Although facing many obstacles in its time, the enlightenment ideas are still very much of our lives. ‘the leading ideas adumbrated by Europeans between 1500 and 1800 still provide most of the signposts by which we make our way’ and as Rude comments ‘In the wider context the Enlightenment reached into almost every brand of knowledge’.
