4.5 Framing and Personal Secrets

Framing and Personal Secrets   One of the most powerful traits for humans is being able to frame and reframe our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors on a continual basis.   Using the power of choice we are able to determine how we wish to perceive our lives and make changes when circumstances change.   Accepting personal responsibility for our choices can be a continuing life challenge regardless of our age and history.   Even when we freely assist others with our various personal gifts, encouraging others to retain ownership of their life choices is usually a healthier way for both of us.     There are many viewpoints within our society on the type and degree of personal information that is best to share with others.   Usually, the type of relationship and individual values determine our choices ranging from telling another "everything" by saying nothing or very little.   As with other areas of personal growth, each person is free to choose, frame and be responsible for what they do.
