Rewrite the Script

When we are young, we learn patterns of thinking and feeling that, unless we intervene, can direct the rest of our lives.

One of my old scripts was that I didn't get the emotional support and encouragement I needed from my mother, so it was difficult for me to trust women and I had few female friends.

Then one day I wrote about all the women who had helped and encouraged me along the way:  a neighbor, a teacher, a church leader, a boss, a colleague. I was getting what I needed all along. Then I began to appreciate all that my mother had actually done for me.

Thus, I rewrote my script. Today I have many female friends, and I've learned to trust women. I've also learned to meet my own emotional needs. Friends simply enrich my life.
