John focuses on your self-esteem. Throughout our lives we are under the scrutiny of others. Being involved with someone brings up the many ways of sharing your innermost thoughts which are judged and sometimes manipulated. These efforts which detract from us can undermine our self esteem. Knowing yourself and having the confidence to be present to that knowledge helps you during times of vulnerability. The irony of life shows that vulnerability is key to having fulfilling relationships. Navigating the pathway of vulnerability and self esteem is a delicate dance and who you include in life can affect the outcome, even if it's momentary. Just the way you are reinforces the idea of being aware of you and being less bothered by detractors and their negativity. Own your power to be satisfied with yourself.

John discusses how to improve the outcome in your relationships. If you experience lots of transitions such as drama in your life then you have to see your part in it in order to make it better. Improving the outcome also involves facing your fears. John believes fear of failure is a huge obstacle to beginning a journey to improvement. We often know exactly what needs attention but avoid it because its too much to accept that we cant control the outcome of something important to us. Something to remember is that much of what we fear doesn't actually happen. Being courageous is often times a matter of silencing the inner critic.

You can make the changes for your life: to be more wise and be present to your own capability to live and not just survive.
