Open-Minded, Healthy Skepticism

One of the definitions I’ve always liked for creativity is “constructive discontent.” New ideas, inventions and discoveries usually come about from a desire to improve something.

It’s like a ripple effect and quite a powerful technique. Anyone that wants to really learn EFT needs to get Gary Craig’s Borrowing Benefits video series. It belongs in your EFT library. You’ll be amazed at what you can do gleaning and borrowing benefits.
