Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads. Erica Jong
Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life. Thomas Moore.
Care of the soul requires an openness to love’s many forms. It is no accident that so many of the troubles we bring to therapy have their roots or manifestations in love. It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul. Thomas Moore
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. Mark Twain
Some people will never understand anything….because they understand everything too soon. Alexander Pope.
Encouraging CASIGYs (Creative, Aware, Super-sensitive, Intense, Gifted You-s!) often starts with helping them cope with discouragement, sensitivity, depression or anxiety. proceeds with helping them heal from the hurts left behind by whatever caused the distress, and wraps up with helping them discover a sense of positive purpose, develop a vision and finally, fulfill their mission in life.

A career path suited to [gifted adults’] needs must provide us with a sense of meaning and large-scale purpose. … For many of us, it often takes years of varied experience to clarify a life mission and to find our niche. Mary-Elaine Jacobsen
