Recently in the news, we have witnessed politicians, community leaders, and celebrities making false statements on camera or in the press. When a prominent news anchor or a U.S. government official embellishes the facts and leads us to believe in an event that did not occur or an accomplishment that was not personally achieved, they have lost credibility. This misstep or falsehood is hard to recover from in the public eye due to the media exposure.

There are two extreme types of responses to such feelings: On the one hand we can completely succumb to the feeling in the sense that we allow the feeling to determine our view of and attitude towards life, and on the other, influenced by our culture’s insistence on the show of success, strength and rational control, we can concentrate on trying to suppress or deny the feeling.
A coaching client reported that years ago when she became pregnant, her doctors told her that the baby would not survive. She and her husband prayed fervently for the child’s well-being, and the baby was born healthy and went on to live a happy life. Since that time she had a few miscarriages, and now the couple very much wants another child. “Do you think we each get a certain allotment of miracles, and when we use it up, we get no more?” she asked.
