Comments on: The Four Powers of the Sphinx http://semicharmedwife.com/2008/06/19/the-four-powers-of-the-sphinx/ Helping you find your purpose and navigate your quarter-life crisis in style Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:20:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Alison http://semicharmedwife.com/2008/06/19/the-four-powers-of-the-sphinx/#comment-1364 Alison Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:36:46 +0000 http://semicharmedwife.com/2008/06/19/the-four-powers-of-the-sphinx/#comment-1364 I'm really enjoying you being candid about this trigger moment and how the people around you respond and how you are getting through it. Discussing food and eating habits and goals among girlfriends is really tricky, especially since we are all shaped different. And I have been on both sides - watching what the girl thinner than me eats and being self-conscious of being watched and pressured in to ordering more. It takes a lot of discipline to remain silent about it and sometimes I feel like girlfriends expect me to give a reason for passing over something.

Very inspiring. Will help me a lot on the "journey" that I am on. So many of the insights that the spiritual leaders realized are just amazing. I have spent so much time just absorbing them. It is amazing to me how they all overlap. Again, really great post... Kayce Great post… Very inspiring. Will help me a lot on the “journey” that I am on.

I think you need to be specific in your wants and desires (I'm queen of being vague--a habit I'm trying to break). Yet, I do see that when I'm specific everything else seems to fall into place exactly where it needs to be.

Like MizFit I too, like to share stories...only difference is I tell everyone when I make a little progress, when I have some success I want the whole world to know. It doesn't mean the battle is over its just I've made steps in the right direction. It's after that part, when they ask "how's it going" and I have to say not so great today that it sucks. I definitely like the 'dare' part, often times knowing what the fear is, what we potentially stand to lose can be the biggest hinderance in achieveing a goal...especially if, like me, failure is my biggest fear. ~K Wow, very insightful.
