Happy 8th Anniversary to me and my wife Tina!</span><br> <span class=style12>_____________________________________________________________________________________</span><br> <br> </span><span class=style12><u><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:indigo'>Losing Our Identities, Finding Ourselves</span></u></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:indigo'><br> <br> </span><span class=style12><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>I've been thinking a lot about this notion of self lately. It's not a new inquiry for me as I realize I've gone</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black'><br> <span class=style12>through many transformations in my own life and probably still have many to go. Believe it or not, the </span><br> <span class=style12>recent Lindsay Lohan matter got me wondering: will her jail term really change her or will she merely do</span><br> <span class=style12>her time and relish in the likely bidding war over the story of her 2 week incarceration? Of course, she still</span><br> <span class=style12>will be court-ordered to complete a 90-day treatment program. Only time will tell if Lindsay evolves from </span><br> <span class=style12>her seemingly endless tear of drama and chaos. But there's hope: even Paris Hilton--after her short jail </span><br> <span class=style12>stint a couple of years ago--seems to have stayed out of trouble and remade her public image if not her </span><br> <span class=style12>deeper self. </span><br> <br> <span class=style12>But on another level, we might see a little Lindsay in ourselves. One point of view is this: Lindsay, like many early child stars, really lose themselves and begin to identify almost entirely with their own image or their </span><br> <span class=style12>own accomplishments. And, as it seems in Lindsay's case, she had (and has) two wildly dysfunctional </span><br> <span class=style12>parents encouraging this all along. For what? Money, glory, fame? And look what often happens--that early</span><br> <span class=style12>child star burns up in flames. In some way, my own father's story was very similar. He was a child prodigy pianist and by his 30's was a very severe alcoholic and manic-depressive. My judgment is he had little sense</span><br> <span class=style12>of his own self. He was lost... and miserable. When we are lost, we often try to find ourselves or numb our-</span><br> <span class=style12>selves in addictions. This, too, was my story as I played the hero most of my life--at a terrible cost to </span><br> <span class=style12>realizing and claiming my own inner worth.</span><br> <br> <span class=style12>How many times is the star employee led out in handcuffs? More than you'd imagine.</span><br> <br> <span class=style12>On this theme of finding ourselves, I'd like to recommend a string of recent movies which, in my mind, shine</span><br> <span class=style12>light on this. The first is &quot;I Am Love&quot; with the actress Tilda Swinton. It's takes place in Italy and is in Italian</span><br> <span class=style12>with subtitles. Without ruining the movie too much, it is a story about a poor Russian woman who marries a</span><br> <span class=style12>wealthy Italian man and moves to Italy with him and starts a family and lives in a mansion, etc. What is so </span><br> <span class=style12>striking is how she has completely lost her self: she forgets her Russian name, never re-visits her country of</span><br> <span class=style12>origin, and gets so wrapped up in the uber-rich world around her that she is totally unaware of how unhappy</span><br> <span class=style12>she has become until she begins a torrid affair which upsets everything in her life she thought she valued.</span><br> <br> <span class=style12>In &quot;Solitary Man&quot; with Michael Douglas, a 60ish man with a successful career, a beautiful wife and a great daughter gets a wake-up call about his own mortality when, during a routine physical, his doctor informs him</span><br> <span class=style12>of a heart rythym abnormality and orders him to go get tested. This fairly common set-up leads both to a total unraveling of his life and a revealing of his darker, more narcissistic underside as he proceeds to engage in </span><br> <span class=style12>dishonest work practices which cause him to go to prison and to get divorced. Once released, he is hell-bent</span><br> <span class=style12>on regaining his status and wealth while trying to reclaim his youth and power by hitting on and bedding every</span><br> <span class=style12>possible young woman he can. How it all ends is provocative and poignant.</span><br> <br> <span class=style12>In &quot;The Kids Are Alright&quot; with Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo, a quaint California family </span><br> <span class=style12>headed by two lesbians with teenagers born from the same sperm donor find their illusions of what their family </span><br> <span class=style12>is made of shattered when the teens locate their donor Dad into their lives.</span><br> <br> <span class=style12>Finally, even the blockbuster action flick &quot;Inception&quot; with Leonardo DiCaprio, about a man enters peoples' </span><br> <span class=style12>dreams to either still ideas or to implant them has a dual storyline wherein the lead character has to plumb the</span><br> <span class=style12>depths of his own mind, his own past to heal his guilt so he may live in today while also going on a journey to </span><br> <span class=style12>&quot;assist&quot; another, by infiltrating his dreams, to re-imagine his own relationship with his father. Confused? You </span><br> <span class=style12>should be. A fun and provocative film and visually stunning.</span><br> <br> <span class=style12>So, discovering our truer selves may often be brought on by pain or crisis whether we're looking for it or not. </span><br> <span class=style12>In the meantime, self-help books are just the appetizer.</span><br> <span class=style12>_____________________________________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p align=center style='text-align:center'><b><u><span style='font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Compulsive Theft and Spending:</span></u></b></p> <p align=center style='text-align:center'><b><i><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The Hidden Epidemics!</span></u></i></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p align=center style='text-align:center'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Copyright 2010 Terrence Daryl Shulman, </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black'>JD,LMSW,ACSW,CAAC,CPC<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p align="left"><span style='color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp; According to recent statistics and surveys, more than 10% of Americans shoplift. Most people shoplift or steal not simply due to economic worries or greed but because there are difficult emotional or psychological issues and various pressures in their lives. For most shoplifters, it's not about the money or the thing--Winona Ryder proved that. Most act out of feelings of anger, loss, disempowerment, and entitlement. And many become hooked, addicted. Nearly 70% of shoplifters arrested will shoplift again. <i>Have you or anyone you know ever shoplifted?</i><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A related behavior, employee theft, is even more pervasive. The American Society of <br> Employers, estimates that retailers alone loss 2-3 times as much from &quot;internal theft&quot; as from shoplifting <br> and that 55% of employee theft is committed by managers and supervisors. The U.S. Chamber of <br> Commerce estimates that 75% of employees steal from their work place and that most do so <br> repeatedly. Even &quot;time theft&quot; or loafing costs U.S. employers nearly $500 billion per year in lost productivity. <br> The FBI calls employee theft &quot;the fastest growing crime in America.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Have you or anyone you know ever <br> stolen anything from the workplace?</i><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In addition, you've no doubt heard Oprah, Suze Orman, or dozens of others sound an alarm about <br> the growing problem of individual and collective debt and financial &quot;dysfunctions.&quot; The primary culprit is <br> out-of-control shopping and spending. In 2006, Stanford University published the results of its landmark <br> study which identified &quot;compulsive buying disorder&quot; as a phenomenon affecting 6% of Americans <br> (nearly 18 million people). Men and women suffer about equally from this disorder which often results in lying <br> and hiding behaviors similar to other addictions as well as hoarding. Other statistics show that the <br> average American is nearly $10,000 in debt due to discretionary purchase and that arguments about money <br> and spending are the leading cause of conflict and separation/divorce among couples. <i>Have you or someone <br> you know ever had a shopping or spending problem?</i><br> <br> Read more of this article at: <a href="http://app.expressemailmarketing.com/get.link?linkid=2267607&amp;subscriberid=50159152&amp;campaignid=589475&amp;linkurl=http%3a%2f%2fhighperformanceproject.wordpress.com%2f"><span style='color:purple'>http://highperformanceproject.wordpress.com/</span></a><br> ____________________________________________________________________________________</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <h1 _extended=true><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:mediumvioletred'>Former Koss Corp.&nbsp;Executive Charged in $31 Million Fraud--Mental Illness Likely Defense</span></u><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></h1> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black'>United States Attorney James L.

After all, everything around us seems to be saying, &quot;Buy, buy, buy!&quot; So...we do! We usually discover the problem only when we run out of money. Then, sadly, we think it's an income problem. The problem isn't income...it's being out of control with the outgo. We addicts tend to spend money to compensate for areas in our lives where we are emotionally out of control or damaged. I'm sure the millionaire's wife felt neglected for all the years he was pursuing his business goals while she was left with their several children to manage. The problem is triggered by emotion and shows itself as spending but we have to understand the cause of compulsive shopping addiction in order to get a handle on the solution.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p _extended=true><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black'>Compulsive Shopping Cause</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt' _extended=true><span style='font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Since most people believe the problem is income, they mis-identify the cause as something outside of themselves; their job, boss, spouse, taxes, the creditors, prices, etc. This form of denial effectively blocks any kind of solution, locking us into an ever deepening problem. Though spending is usually the main symptom, and this, triggered by emotion, the cause goes much deeper. When we continue to pile up spending, the cause is usually rooted in the Spending Cycle: 1. We start with an emptiness, or negative self-esteem; a feeling of incompleteness. 2. Signals all around us tell us if we had some thing, we'd be seen as more important, successful, loveable, or complete, etc. The signals come from family, friends, co-workers, TV, radio, the Internet...anyone who has influence over us. 3. We spend to get that success feeling, sharing news of our shrewd acquisition with anyone who will say, &quot;oooooooo.&quot; 4. When the bills come in we feel even more incomplete and powerless than before, starting the cycle all over again. Until we own the cause as something within us, we will never have a solution. The actual cause of compulsive shopping addiction, then, is that feeling of emptiness and low self-esteem.
