The Triangle of Truth
MIKE ROBBINS:
I have a love-hate relationship to conflict. I love it when things 'work out,' but hate it when they don't. My fear of things not working out, of people's feelings getting hurt, or of me losing something important are usually high on my list of justifications for not saying certain things, not engaging in the conflict at all, or selling out on my deepest truth even in the midst of it.

Letting Go of Worry
MIKE ROBBINS:
How often do you find yourself worrying these days? When I was a kid my mom used to say to me, "95% of what we worry about never happens." She recognized that I was the 'worrying type' and was trying to help ease my mind. Although this rarely worked, I appreciated her sentiment and know now that she was right. Read more >>>

Our Insatiable Desire for Fame
MIKE ROBBINS:
I've always been fascinated by ongoing sensationalized stories in the media. It's easy to get caught up in the drama of these stories, to blame the insatiable appetite of the twenty four hour news cycle, or to judge the particular people involved. Read more >>>
