[5/3, 18:46] @doctormichaels: I sense a lot of people have been a shadow of themselves for so long...afraid to take the necessary step they need to take...afraid to damn the risk and step out with their hearts in their hands beating fast

INTRODUCTION
A 45mins-1hour talk
The truth is that there are no limitations or restrictions anywhere.No limit to how far we can go ...no limits to what we can get done.. no limits to the kind of resources we can have access to...no limit to the influence we can have ...no limits ...no boundaries...no walls...no limit to how far we can go in life ...there are no accidents or coincidences in real life...
How far we can go in life is fully and totally dependent on you...me...not the government...our disabilities...our culture...our families...our nationalities...our creed,skin color and race
[5/3, 18:55] Participant : 😇
[5/3, 18:55] @doctormichaels: I don't mind sir
[5/3, 18:56] @doctormichaels: In life real life...there are no nations ....just physical boundaries
[5/3, 18:57] Participant: Thank you sir
[5/3, 18:57] @doctormichaels: All we have are global citizens with global problems disguising as personal problems
[5/3, 18:57] Participant : Wow
[5/3, 18:58] @doctormichaels: The moment we are able to find solutions to our personal problems we would have succeded in solving a particular global problem each
[5/3, 18:58] @doctormichaels: The truth is that to conquer the world we need to conquer ourselves first
[5/3, 18:59] Participant : *No accidents or coincidence in real life...*
[5/3, 18:59] @doctormichaels: In fact,the key to conquering the world is conquering ourselves
[5/3, 19:00] @doctormichaels: Our background stories are ingredients to helping us form the necessary personality we need to have in being ready to conquer the world.
[5/3, 19:02] @doctormichaels: Therefore,the more we run away from our background life stories the more we are running away from what is capable to making us stand out in the world and being fully equipped and rightly positioned to face the new world order
[5/3, 19:02] @doctormichaels: In the last 4months,a lot of shifting has been taking place
[5/3, 19:02] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:02] @doctormichaels: Many of whom are not visible
[5/3, 19:03] @doctormichaels: Infact,the key to creating a new normal in nature is disruption
[5/3, 19:03] @doctormichaels: Whether in a personal life or on the global stage
[5/3, 19:04] Participant : 👌🏽
[5/3, 19:04] @doctormichaels: Life problems have an unusual power within them to create a new normal
[5/3, 19:04] @doctormichaels: Isaac Newton said an object will continue to remain in a state of rest unless a force equal and opposite acts on it
[5/3, 19:05] Participant : *GBAM!!!*
[5/3, 19:05] @doctormichaels: I hope am correct o?🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
[5/3, 19:05] @doctormichaels: It's been a while
[5/3, 19:05] @doctormichaels: Therefore,to move forward in life ,there must be problems
[5/3, 19:06] @doctormichaels: Ladies and gentlemen ...we live in a place called Africa where we have been taught that problems are abnormal or an anomaly!
[5/3, 19:06] @doctormichaels: abnormal*
[5/3, 19:06] Participant: ✅✅✅
[5/3, 19:06] @doctormichaels: No sir /ma
[5/3, 19:08] @doctormichaels: Problems are super normal...they are God's wonderful gifts to reposition us ....to open our eyes to out limitations ...to bring us to a state of helplessness...a place where our weaknesses are obvious to us....a place of hunger...deeper hunger...a place where we see the limitations of the present state...a place where we begin to thirst for a change
[5/3, 19:09] Participant : On point my beloved brother
[5/3, 19:09] @doctormichaels: Our life problems are the ones responsible for the creation of our value creation
[5/3, 19:09] @doctormichaels: So we have a choice
[5/3, 19:10] Participant: Eye opening✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:10] Participant : What are the choices sir...
[5/3, 19:11] @doctormichaels: Do we want to stay where we are ,no problems,no challenges,no criticism,no mocking,no discouragement ,no opposition ,no disappointment,no temptation to be fearful,to be anxious or worried ....and become irrelevant

[5/3, 19:12] Participant: U are right sir.. Newton first law of motion
[5/3, 19:13] @doctormichaels: We embrace the new normal with all the challenges it brings
[5/3, 19:13] @doctormichaels: Embedded within challenges or life problems are opportunities
[5/3, 19:14] @doctormichaels: The greater the life problems,or the greater the challenges the greater the opportunities
[5/3, 19:14] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:14] @doctormichaels: To unravel a life problem and discover the embedded opportunities requires capacity development
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: There are no problems without a solution
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: No life problem comes an enemy
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: Life problems are never our enemies
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: No
[5/3, 19:15] Participant : ✍️

[5/3, 19:16] @doctormichaels: They expose the great capacity we carry
[5/3, 19:16] @doctormichaels: They expose the great personalities we have around us
[5/3, 19:17] @doctormichaels: Imagine a skinny guy in a movie approaching a tree
[5/3, 19:17] @doctormichaels: Unknown to him there is a lion lurking around the tree
[5/3, 19:18] Participant : 😳
[5/3, 19:18] @doctormichaels: The viewers are all shouting ,screaming but the guy couldn't hear because it's a movie
[5/3, 19:18] @doctormichaels: some of the viewers are fainting already
[5/3, 19:19] @doctormichaels: Some switched off the TV
[5/3, 19:19] @doctormichaels: Some are crying
[5/3, 19:19] @doctormichaels: crying*
[5/3, 19:19] @doctormichaels: But the screen writer and the producers are not even moved one bit
[5/3, 19:20] @doctormichaels: When the guy got to the tree,the lion approached him
[5/3, 19:21] @doctormichaels: Or jumps out to kill and devour him...to end his life ...to abort his life purpose...to silence him...to create a disability physical,mental, psychological, spiritual
[5/3, 19:21] @doctormichaels: Guess what happened?
[5/3, 19:21] @doctormichaels: Should I continue?
[5/3, 19:21] Participant : Go ahead sir

[5/3, 19:22] Participant : yes very interesting sir
[5/3, 19:22] @doctormichaels: The skinny guy killed the lion with his bare hands
[5/3, 19:22] Participant: Yes sir
[5/3, 19:22] @doctormichaels: The viewers were shocked
[5/3, 19:23] Participant : 😁
[5/3, 19:23] @doctormichaels: The truth is that though the guy was skinny and looked like someone not capable
[5/3, 19:23] @doctormichaels: He had in him the a lion- killing-machine
[5/3, 19:24] @doctormichaels: But without the lion jumping out at him, the viewers would not have known that the boy was carrying a lion killer machine inside him
[5/3, 19:25] @doctormichaels: The truth is that
[5/3, 19:25] @doctormichaels: Thanks to the lion
[5/3, 19:25] @doctormichaels: Now we know how capable the guy is
[5/3, 19:26] @doctormichaels: Without life challenges we wouldnt be aware of what we carry
[5/3, 19:26] @doctormichaels: Am I communicating

[5/3, 19:26] Participant : *Very well sir*
[5/3, 19:26] Participant : very well sir
[5/3, 19:26] @doctormichaels: Inherent within a problem is the solution to it
[5/3, 19:27] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:27] @doctormichaels: So instead of running away ...we need to confront it...look at it in the eye and look inward
[5/3, 19:27] Participant : Yes sir
[5/3, 19:27] @doctormichaels: The first place to get help is inside of us
[5/3, 19:27] @doctormichaels: The second place is outside
[5/3, 19:28] @doctormichaels: It is the inside help, we carry within us ....(put there by God the creator )that is responsible for the creation of the second outside help
[5/3, 19:28] @doctormichaels: It's an insult to God and the 10billion brain cells inside us to beg for help
[5/3, 19:29] @doctormichaels: Or to look for the second outside help first
[5/3, 19:29] @doctormichaels: The world,the universe ,nature and God will only bow /respond to the man who has decided to look inward
[5/3, 19:29] @doctormichaels: first
[5/3, 19:30] @doctormichaels: There is no one without a voice
[5/3, 19:30] @doctormichaels: Ladies and gentlemen

[5/3, 19:31] @doctormichaels: There is repositioning
[5/3, 19:31] @doctormichaels: That is strategic
[5/3, 19:32] @doctormichaels: The greatest mistake anyone can make at this time is to be overwhelmed with their personal issues plus global issues
[5/3, 19:32] @doctormichaels: The smartest around us will do two major things
[5/3, 19:32] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:33] @doctormichaels: There will be increase in mental health distress cases and mental health disorders as well as worsening of already existing mental health disorders due to increased marital crisis,loss of job or employment opportunities,

[5/3, 20:12] @doctormichaels: Oh thank you sir for that brilliant question
[5/3, 20:12] @doctormichaels: We all have different identities
[5/3, 20:13] @doctormichaels: Our different identities is determined by our life purpose ,that is,our reason for being here
[5/3, 20:13] @doctormichaels: The truth is that we are all here to solve various kinds of life problems
[5/3, 20:13] participant: ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 20:14] @doctormichaels: There was a problem that was why we came
[5/3, 20:14] @doctormichaels: God felt in order to make sure that we will solve the problem
[5/3, 20:14] @doctormichaels: Guess what He did?
[5/3, 20:14] @doctormichaels: He made us have the same problem
[5/3, 20:15] participant: Any definite spiritual assignment we must all solve while we're here?
[5/3, 20:15] participant: We have a choice...to either be depressed or anxious or build capacity and ask and answer those 3 questions
Participant :
This 👆was very intriguing for me and I think it has to do with our mental health, [5/3, 20:15] @doctormichaels: So that we will be forced to find solutions to the problem that each of us have been created to solve
[5/3, 20:15] participant: ✍✍✍
[5/3, 20:16] @doctormichaels: Our life purpose...reason for being here is embedded within the life problems and disabilities we have
[5/3, 20:16] participant: ✍✍✍
[5/3, 20:17] @doctormichaels: But the world is where it is today because many have abandoned their purposes or search for it and have decided to go after money, marriages,child bearing...all these are important but they are secondary
[5/3, 20:17] @doctormichaels: There is no way you will go after your life purpose and not become rich
[5/3, 20:18] participant: Strongly agree
[5/3, 20:18] @doctormichaels: In fact,since the purpose of marriage is to fulfill PURPOSE,while you are fulfilling your purpose...your spouse or life partner will find you
[5/3, 20:18] participant: How and how soon do you think one can determines ones purpose in life?
[5/3, 20:18] @doctormichaels: You can't fulfill life purpose and be tossed about by diseases
[5/3, 20:19] @doctormichaels: God and nature will do everything to keep you alive
[5/3, 20:19] @doctormichaels: You can't wake up depressed

[5/3, 20:24] @doctormichaels: In addition to the 3 fundamental questions
[5/3, 20:24] @doctormichaels: They will help to stabilize our mental health
[5/3, 20:25] @doctormichaels: So that we are no longer thinking of what our country can do for us but what we can do for our country

[5/3, 20:38] @doctormichaels: Yes ma
[5/3, 20:38] @doctormichaels: Loneliness is one of it
[5/3, 20:38] @doctormichaels: Loneliness is different from being alone
[5/3, 20:39] @doctormichaels: Let's also make it clear that marriage or romantic relationships are not the solutions to loneliness
[5/3, 20:39] Participant: Could you please shed more light sir?
[5/3, 20:39] @doctormichaels: Infact they worsen or aggravate the already existing loneliness
[5/3, 20:39] @doctormichaels: Loneliness has to do with a void
[5/3, 20:40] Participant: Strongly agree
[5/3, 20:40] Participants : Sir Please more on this
[5/3, 20:40] Participants : Thanks sir
[5/3, 20:40] @doctormichaels: Loneliness is a void created by past childhood or adulthood traumatic experiences such as rape,lack of parental care,
[5/3, 20:40] @doctormichaels: Lack of self awareness etc
[5/3, 20:41] Participant: hmmmmmmmmmmm
[5/3, 20:41] @doctormichaels: Not asking and finding answers to the 3 fundamental questions of life
[5/3, 20:41] @doctormichaels: All these are primary causes of loneliness
[5/3, 20:41] Participant: Hummmm
[5/3, 20:42] @doctormichaels: The symptoms are some cases of multiple sexual partners
,
[5/3, 20:42] @doctormichaels: Unstable marriage
[5/3, 20:42] Participant: Really
[5/3, 20:42] @doctormichaels: Unstable romantic and non romantic relationships
[5/3, 20:43] Participant: Sure
[5/3, 20:43] @doctormichaels: But we must never be carried away with the symptoms
[5/3, 20:44] @doctormichaels: A professional help will assist us finding out the primary causes and deal with it
[5/3, 20:44] @doctormichaels: Yes
[5/3, 20:44] Participant: But doctor can we have your number to talk to you later on this sir.

[5/3, 20:46] @doctormichaels: No one can make another human being happy
[5/3, 20:47] @doctormichaels: We are the only ones that can make ourselves happy...that's the number 1 quote in my book,Daily Wisdom for Living ebook

[5/3, 18:39] Participant : You're most welcome sir
[5/3, 18:40] @doctormichaels: I will be talking about Embracing the new normal as a person with disabilities.
[5/3, 18:40] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 18:41] @doctormichaels: The first time I met Mr Yusuf was either last year or year two years ago at the highly successful AIDS conference (Ability in Disability)
[5/3, 18:42] @doctormichaels: Ever since then,myself and the convener of this event maintained contact as often as possible...he is highly intelligent,humble, Purpose driven and self driven sef
[5/3, 18:43] @doctormichaels: I can sense the hunger on the platform...the hunger to move from where we are to where we have always desired to be
[5/3, 18:44] Participant: Yes o
[5/3, 18:44] @doctormichaels: Please imagine that you and I are having a one on one session together in our therapy session room at Quantum Leap Consulting,...it's a chat but a chat with a difference
[5/3, 18:44] Participant : ✅✅✅
[5/3, 18:45] @doctormichaels: It's a life transforming chat that has the capacity to literally change people from their present self to the real version of themselves
[5/3, 18:46] @doctormichaels: I sense a lot of people have been a shadow of themselves for so long...afraid to take the necessary step they need to take...afraid to damn the risk and step out with their hearts in their hands beating fast
[5/3, 18:46] @doctormichaels: Ladies and gentlemen
[5/3, 18:46] @doctormichaels: You are in the right place
[5/3, 18:46] @doctormichaels: Tighten/fasten your seat belt and get ready for a high performance ride

INTRODUCTION
A 45mins-1hour talk
The truth is that there are no limitations or restrictions anywhere.No limit to how far we can go ...no limits to what we can get done.. no limits to the kind of resources we can have access to...no limit to the influence we can have ...no limits ...no boundaries...no walls...no limit to how far we can go in life ...there are no accidents or coincidences in real life...
How far we can go in life is fully and totally dependent on you...me...not the government...our disabilities...our culture...our families...our nationalities...our creed,skin color and race
[5/3, 18:55] Participant : 😇
[5/3, 18:55] @doctormichaels: I don't mind sir
[5/3, 18:56] @doctormichaels: In life real life...there are no nations ....just physical boundaries
[5/3, 18:57] Participant: Thank you sir
[5/3, 18:57] @doctormichaels: All we have are global citizens with global problems disguising as personal problems
[5/3, 18:57] Participant : Wow
[5/3, 18:58] @doctormichaels: The moment we are able to find solutions to our personal problems we would have succeded in solving a particular global problem each
[5/3, 18:58] @doctormichaels: The truth is that to conquer the world we need to conquer ourselves first
[5/3, 18:59] Participant : *No accidents or coincidence in real life...*
[5/3, 18:59] @doctormichaels: In fact,the key to conquering the world is conquering ourselves
[5/3, 19:00] @doctormichaels: Our background stories are ingredients to helping us form the necessary personality we need to have in being ready to conquer the world.
[5/3, 19:02] @doctormichaels: Therefore,the more we run away from our background life stories the more we are running away from what is capable to making us stand out in the world and being fully equipped and rightly positioned to face the new world order
[5/3, 19:02] @doctormichaels: In the last 4months,a lot of shifting has been taking place
[5/3, 19:02] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:02] @doctormichaels: Many of whom are not visible
[5/3, 19:03] @doctormichaels: Infact,the key to creating a new normal in nature is disruption
[5/3, 19:03] @doctormichaels: Whether in a personal life or on the global stage
[5/3, 19:04] Participant : 👌🏽
[5/3, 19:04] @doctormichaels: Life problems have an unusual power within them to create a new normal
[5/3, 19:04] @doctormichaels: Isaac Newton said an object will continue to remain in a state of rest unless a force equal and opposite acts on it
[5/3, 19:05] Participant : *GBAM!!!*
[5/3, 19:05] @doctormichaels: I hope am correct o?🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
[5/3, 19:05] @doctormichaels: It's been a while
[5/3, 19:05] @doctormichaels: Therefore,to move forward in life ,there must be problems
[5/3, 19:06] @doctormichaels: Ladies and gentlemen ...we live in a place called Africa where we have been taught that problems are abnormal or an anomaly!
[5/3, 19:06] @doctormichaels: abnormal*
[5/3, 19:06] Participant: ✅✅✅
[5/3, 19:06] @doctormichaels: No sir /ma
[5/3, 19:08] @doctormichaels: Problems are super normal...they are God's wonderful gifts to reposition us ....to open our eyes to out limitations ...to bring us to a state of helplessness...a place where our weaknesses are obvious to us....a place of hunger...deeper hunger...a place where we see the limitations of the present state...a place where we begin to thirst for a change
[5/3, 19:09] Participant : On point my beloved brother
[5/3, 19:09] @doctormichaels: Our life problems are the ones responsible for the creation of our value creation
[5/3, 19:09] @doctormichaels: So we have a choice
[5/3, 19:10] Participant: Eye opening✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:10] Participant : What are the choices sir...
[5/3, 19:11] @doctormichaels: Do we want to stay where we are ,no problems,no challenges,no criticism,no mocking,no discouragement ,no opposition ,no disappointment,no temptation to be fearful,to be anxious or worried ....and become irrelevant
[5/3, 19:11] @doctormichaels: Same financial status
[5/3, 19:11] @doctormichaels: Same lecture notes
[5/3, 19:11] @doctormichaels: Same set of friends
[5/3, 19:12] @doctormichaels: Same way of thinking
[5/3, 19:12] @doctormichaels: Same perspective
[5/3, 19:12] @doctormichaels: Same mindset
[5/3, 19:12] @doctormichaels: Same culture

[5/3, 19:12] Participant: Original tie downs
[5/3, 19:12] @doctormichaels: same influence ,income and influence
[5/3, 19:12] @doctormichaels: OR
[5/3, 19:12] Participant: U are right sir.. Newton first law of motion
[5/3, 19:13] @doctormichaels: We embrace the new normal with all the challenges it brings
[5/3, 19:13] @doctormichaels: Embedded within challenges or life problems are opportunities
[5/3, 19:14] @doctormichaels: The greater the life problems,or the greater the challenges the greater the opportunities
[5/3, 19:14] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:14] @doctormichaels: To unravel a life problem and discover the embedded opportunities requires capacity development
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: There are no problems without a solution
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: No life problem comes an enemy
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: Life problems are never our enemies
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: No
[5/3, 19:15] Participant : ✍️
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: They are all on our side
[5/3, 19:15] @doctormichaels: They are our friends
[5/3, 19:16] Participant : *No problem without solution*👌
[5/3, 19:16] @doctormichaels: They expose the great capacity we carry
[5/3, 19:16] @doctormichaels: They expose the great personalities we have around us
[5/3, 19:17] @doctormichaels: Imagine a skinny guy in a movie approaching a tree
[5/3, 19:17] @doctormichaels: Unknown to him there is a lion lurking around the tree
[5/3, 19:18] Participant : 😳
[5/3, 19:18] @doctormichaels: The viewers are all shouting ,screaming but the guy couldn't hear because it's a movie
[5/3, 19:18] @doctormichaels: some of the viewers are fainting already
[5/3, 19:19] @doctormichaels: Some switched off the TV
[5/3, 19:19] @doctormichaels: Some are crying
[5/3, 19:19] @doctormichaels: crying*
[5/3, 19:19] @doctormichaels: But the screen writer and the producers are not even moved one bit
[5/3, 19:20] @doctormichaels: When the guy got to the tree,the lion approached him
[5/3, 19:21] @doctormichaels: Or jumps out to kill and devour him...to end his life ...to abort his life purpose...to silence him...to create a disability physical,mental, psychological, spiritual
[5/3, 19:21] @doctormichaels: Guess what happened?
[5/3, 19:21] @doctormichaels: Should I continue?
[5/3, 19:21] Participant : Go ahead sir
[5/3, 19:22] Participant : My people are following and taking notes sir
[5/3, 19:22] @doctormichaels: Okay sir...thankyou
[5/3, 19:22] Participant : yes very interesting sir
[5/3, 19:22] @doctormichaels: The skinny guy killed the lion with his bare hands
[5/3, 19:22] Participant: Yes sir
[5/3, 19:22] @doctormichaels: The viewers were shocked
[5/3, 19:23] Participant : 😁
[5/3, 19:23] @doctormichaels: The truth is that though the guy was skinny and looked like someone not capable
[5/3, 19:23] @doctormichaels: He had in him the a lion- killing-machine
[5/3, 19:24] @doctormichaels: But without the lion jumping out at him, the viewers would not have known that the boy was carrying a lion killer machine inside him
[5/3, 19:25] @doctormichaels: The truth is that
[5/3, 19:25] @doctormichaels: Thanks to the lion
[5/3, 19:25] @doctormichaels: Now we know how capable the guy is
[5/3, 19:26] @doctormichaels: Without life challenges we wouldnt be aware of what we carry
[5/3, 19:26] @doctormichaels: Am I communicating
[5/3, 19:26] Participant : hmmmm
[5/3, 19:26] Participant : *Very well sir*
[5/3, 19:26] Participant : very well sir
[5/3, 19:26] @doctormichaels: Inherent within a problem is the solution to it
[5/3, 19:27] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:27] @doctormichaels: So instead of running away ...we need to confront it...look at it in the eye and look inward
[5/3, 19:27] Participant : Yes sir
[5/3, 19:27] @doctormichaels: The first place to get help is inside of us
[5/3, 19:27] @doctormichaels: The second place is outside
[5/3, 19:28] @doctormichaels: It is the inside help, we carry within us ....(put there by God the creator )that is responsible for the creation of the second outside help
[5/3, 19:28] @doctormichaels: It's an insult to God and the 10billion brain cells inside us to beg for help
[5/3, 19:29] @doctormichaels: Or to look for the second outside help first
[5/3, 19:29] @doctormichaels: The world,the universe ,nature and God will only bow /respond to the man who has decided to look inward
[5/3, 19:29] @doctormichaels: first
[5/3, 19:30] @doctormichaels: There is no one without a voice
[5/3, 19:30] @doctormichaels: Ladies and gentlemen
[5/3, 19:30] @doctormichaels: The present pandemic is not against us
[5/3, 19:30] @doctormichaels: It is for us regardless of our religion,skin colour etc
[5/3, 19:31] @doctormichaels: A new world order is taking place
[5/3, 19:31] Participant : Wow!!! ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:31] @doctormichaels: The least on the table is taking the first place
[5/3, 19:31] @doctormichaels: There is repositioning
[5/3, 19:31] @doctormichaels: That is strategic
[5/3, 19:32] @doctormichaels: The greatest mistake anyone can make at this time is to be overwhelmed with their personal issues plus global issues
[5/3, 19:32] @doctormichaels: The smartest around us will do two major things
[5/3, 19:32] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:33] @doctormichaels: There will be increase in mental health distress cases and mental health disorders as well as worsening of already existing mental health disorders due to increased marital crisis,loss of job or employment opportunities,
[5/3, 19:34] @doctormichaels: Anxiety
[5/3, 19:34] @doctormichaels: Worry
[5/3, 19:34] @doctormichaels: Fear
[5/3, 19:34] @doctormichaels: Depression
[5/3, 19:34] @doctormichaels: Insomnia... difficulty with sleep
[5/3, 19:34] @doctormichaels: Stress...emotional and physical
[5/3, 19:34] @doctormichaels: Etc
[5/3, 19:35] @doctormichaels: But we all have a choice remember
[5/3, 19:35] @doctormichaels: ?
[5/3, 19:35] @doctormichaels: So in rounding off I will state the 3 sure steps to capacity building for life and the 3 fundamental questions of life
[5/3, 19:36] @doctormichaels: Will share a story of one of our clients who went through our therapy session and we will be done
[5/3, 19:36] Participant : ✍️✍️✍️
[5/3, 19:36] @doctormichaels: Is that okay by you ?
