Perspective is vital.

Try not to fear death, but to embrace its inevitability and in the process, live life extravagantly!

Remembering that we are going to die does not suggest that we should live in fear and terror of death, for to become hopeless and afraid would be of no use, and would prevent us from enjoying life. Rather we should be inspired by the inevitability of death to make the most of each precious moment in order to cultivate our inner strength, loving-kindness and compassion. Then, no matter when we are to die, we will have done our best to make of our lives something valuable and useful both for ourselves and for others.

There is no way that we can give up death, but with sufficient effort and the right motivation we can certainly give up suffering. As long as our determination is strong enough and our confidence does not fail, we have the means and the power to neutralise the causes of suffering, to cut them off at source. And if ever we doubt the value of our efforts, we have only to look at our own experience and that of those around us to realise just how worthwhile it is for everyone that compassion should develop and flourish in the world.

Death, grief, change is happening every moment. Now, then and every moment in between. There is wisdom and strength in acknowledging those moments.

Therapy... not as usual

Therapy doesn't have to last forever, and doesn't have to dig into past problems and trauma. Instead, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) works by using conversation focused on helping you envision and create the future in which you want to live. You can begin to experience positive results in as few as 1 to 3 sessions.

Let's start building your future today. Visit our website at www.edutherapyllc.com, or give us a call today at 630.215.8714.

Is it compelling to understand that you are the architect of your future?

You are the one who really knows just exactly what you want.

How will you know when you have made the change from “prisoner of the past” to “architect of your future?”

What will be different?

It's easy to get lost in the stress and confusion of our daily lives. Remember that you are the expert of you. You have the power to decide just whom you will be.

Sometimes we tend to focus so much on the problems and how they overpower our life, that we forget we are able to live our way into a future that we prefer. With Solution Focused Brief Therapy we can work together to step away from the problems and instead envision that future. What do you hope for your future?

I read this poem by Mary Oliver again today. I've carried this last line in my head for a very long while. Today, this was a good reminder yet again ------

The Summer Day:

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean–
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaw back and forth instead of up and down–
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes?
Now she shifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open and floats away.
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

Hope is a powerful asset. It helps you see your strengths, connect with others and create your future.
