DAILY INSPIRATION

A sense of entitlement is common these days. People who feel entitled believe that they are more important than others and that their needs should come first. They are the takers. Caretakers support the takers. Caretakers believe they are not as important as others, that their needs should come last. Takers need to practice compassion for others. Caretakers need to practice compassion for themselves.

More About Inner Bonding

Inner Bonding is a proven six-step self-healing process that has been developed and optimized over 30 years by Dr. Margaret Paul, Ph.D. and Dr. Erika Chopich, Ph.D. It’s comprehensive. It’s practical. And it always works when you do it.

Inner Bonding empowers you to self-heal the root causes of anxiety, depression, addictions, failed relationships and many other problems that inhibit your personal and spiritual growth and satisfaction. It teaches you how to love yourself rather than continue to abandon yourself, how to move beyond emotional dependency and attain emotional freedom, and how to heal the underlying control issues stemming from self-abandonment.
