In short they remain calm and in control even when under pressure and can cut through the crap including negative emotions to determine an appropriate course of action. They don’t procrastinate they just do it. Plus they don’t give up, they persevere to achieve goals even in the face of obstacles. Hi Dr Cason The fear of the unknown can be so difficult to deal with. It takes a lot of courage to face this fear head on. Her husband was right she needed to be brave. You must have a lot of situations in your work life where parents are seeking reassurance from you about their child’s future health, and the reality is you can’t tell them every thing will be fine. Yet another difficult aspect of the work you do. I really admire your passion and commitment Dr Cason. Hi Dave

We push them down and cover it with a mass of doughnuts or TV or Internet browsing, but they have a way of surfacing. I had a family once wringing their hands over their daughter. The mother kept crying and asking for reassurance. I told her that she was healthy but I couldn't take away the fact that she might have another seizure. I couldn't promise her that when she did that everything would be okay. That unknown was paralyzing her. She couldn't even fathom what to do. Her husband turned to her and said simply, "Be Brave." I loved that. We can attempt drown our sorrows. We push them down and cover it with a mass of doughnuts or TV or Internet browsing, but they have a way of surfacing.

Her husband turned to her and said simply, “Be Brave.”

I loved that.

A surprising amount of what I've achieved in life has been kick started by a negative experience. I keep meaning to research famous people or inventers who used their negative emotions and energy to great (and positive) effect. One day.

Thanks for staying and reading my post. Good point you made about failures. A person who is comfortable about making failures is more likely to step out of their comfort zone more often.

Yes this post is my best impression of Milli Vanilli (or whatever they were called) meets Craig Harper the mind reader post, where I lip synch to Craig's words. Thanks for the compliment Greg.

Based on your experiences, you would probably be well placed to write part 2 of this article. ;) Hi Karen

Seems like there is some catching up to do with the reading and learning here. Life took over for a while, but there is now a plan in place to manage those negative feelings and use them to move on!! One thing I learnt through my journey over the past few years is that it is ok to feel those negative feelings .... in fact allow yourself to really feel them, accept them, then you will find you can use them to get on with it! Works for me! Talk again soon ... Karen Hey Leanne …. found my way back to your blog finally! Seems like there is some catching up to do with the reading and learning here.
