For all I know, they may be right...it may not be for them. "Intrapersonal" is one of Howard Gardner's 7 types of intelligence. After a long time of trying to teach people to get more in tune with themselves, I've decided that there might be something innate going on, but that it's also societal. I remember reading as an adolescent that introspection was unhealthy…we should always be oriented to the external world. Introspection meant you were neurotic and too wrapped up in yourself. That didn't make sense to me. If you're curious instead of judgmental, it gives you the ability to integrate your life...to align your actions with your values. I cured myself of a phobia about dentists when I was 16 years old by using self-hypnosis. From then on I've never felt stuck. If my life wasn't working I knew I had the power to change things. One of the traits I list for stress-hardy people (http://stresstopower.com/Stress%20Hardiness.html) is: “They take responsibility for their mental programming, their emotions, and their actions. If they have ineffective ways of thinking and behaving, they evaluate them and make appropriate changes.” Most people wouldn’t agree to that, I’m sure. But as we’ve said many times, we can’t resonate with everyone. I, for one, am not willing to settle for less. Today’s post at my StressToPower blog (http://stresstopower.com/blog/2007/08/12/mourning-our-losses/) is about mourning our losses, which ties in with this conversation, I think. Tomorrow’s post at Cheerful Monk (cheerfulmonk.com) will be entitled “It’s a Magical World.” It will touch on the subject of reconnecting with childlike wonder, of seeing the world with fresh eyes. Thanks for the great discussion! Dawud,

I'm asking for everyone else? So you think most people even have access to what motivates them below the surface? I love Tony's blog. Thanks for the great link - which I made live. Jean,

He says
* A setback is one of those inevitabilities of life, when things don’t go according to plan.
* A failure is when you give up, or don’t try, when you still want to reach your goal.

He goes on to say how to deal with setbacks. I think that was well put.
