Peeling back the layers of self in order to grow -- Thank you for using this imperfect child -- A confession and a promise -- Building your bounce-back muscles -- Developing your understanding muscle: some gifts come wrapped in sandpaper -- Developing your faith-in-myself muscle: pressing the stop button on your mind's negative chatter -- Developing your take-action muscle: stop lying on the nail -- Developing your I-know-like-I-know muscle: God is good, good is God. Woo-hoo! -- Developing your honesty muscle: keeping it real -- Developing your say-yes muscle: being willing to play full out -- Developing your determination muscle: doing what it takes to get to your mountaintop -- Developing your forgiveness muscle: finding your way back to love -- Developing your highest choice muscle: meeting your needs from the inside out, and then aiming for the stars -- Finding your rhythm: living in joy and possibility.
