Most of us desire to live a life feeling confident, courageous and competent as we meet new challenges or handle the inevitable stressors that life seems to be made of. We yearn to feel fulfilled and purposeful, exhilarated and passionate as we move through our experience of living. We seek the enjoyment, encouragement, comfort, safety and stability of loving relationships.
