As a psychotherapist and life coach, it’s part of my business. It may be a crisis in a marriage, a crisis at work, a financial crisis… There are many places for crises to wreak havoc in our lives.</p> <p>Some crises are unavoidable. We control only so much of what happens in our lives, and sometimes life throws hardship, tragedy, or deeply chaotic circumstances our way.</p> <p>I don’t make light of or gloss over the realities of life; but I do make it my business to help people to avoid <em>unnecessary</em> troubles, and there is one thing that we <em>can</em> do to prevent some of the more predictable crises of life.</p> <p>We tend to use the passive voice to describe our troubles: An affair “just happened.” The project “just fell apart.” No author, no identifiable cause. The passive voice puts us at the mercy of events; the active voice is the voice of self-ownership and commitment.</p> <p>A lack of commitment to our highest values can create tremendous anxiety; and turn every conflict, every decision, and every challenge, into a potential crisis. Every small problem can throw the <em>entire</em> commitment into question… And <em>that</em> is a major source of avoidable crisis.</p> <p>Now to the practical application, a tangible plan of action for a life without unnecessary crises.</p></p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/commit-to-life-without-crisis/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-12159" class="art-post art-article post-12159 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-c76-free-articles category-humor-file" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/how-hillary-wins/" rel="bookmark" title="HOW HILLARY WINS">HOW HILLARY WINS</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="10:14 pm">February 5, 2016</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/mikodgreat/" title="View all posts by ToThePoint">ToThePoint</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12160" src="http://www.2thepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SuperBwlHillary.jpg" alt="SuperBwlHillary" width="483" height="322" /></p></p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/how-hillary-wins/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div><div class="spForumLink"><span><a href="http://2thepointnews.com/user-forums/article-discussion/how-hillary-wins/"><img class='' src='https://www.2thepointnews.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/blog-linking/resources/images/sp_BlogLink.png' alt='sp_BlogLink' /> Join the forum discussion on this post</a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-12125" class="art-post art-article post-12125 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/half-full-report-012916/" rel="bookmark" title="HALF-FULL REPORT 01/29/16">HALF-FULL REPORT 01/29/16</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="10:40 pm">January 29, 2016</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><p>I woke up this morning to a deluge of Forum comments on my <a href="http://www.2thepointnews.com/2016/01/trump-derangement-syndrome/">Trump Derangement Syndrome</a> yesterday. A large number of them were from Trump supporters who strongly disagreed with me.</p> <p>They did so with courtesy and grace, with reasoned arguments rather than schoolyard insults. Trump could learn a lesson from them. I can’t thank them enough. We can continue to agree to disagree, and do so with mutual respect.

Rod has been a dear and close friend of mine for more years than we both care to admit. Ours is a mutual admiration society. And of course, he’s an avid TTPer.

It was glorious to have a real debate without Trump in the way, a clear demonstration of how much better the whole Pub primary campaign would have been without him.</p> <p>Trump made a disastrous mistake in wimping out of the debate, afraid of a girl. <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tv-ratings-fox-news-debate-860284">The Fox debate last night dwarfed Trump’s egomaniacal competing rally, 4.5 times as many, 12.5 million vs. 2.78 million viewers</a>.

There is little middle ground: supporters worship him; detractors in greater number seem to vehemently dislike him.</p> <p>Why then does the president, desperate for some sort of legacy, continue to embrace polarization?</p> <p>A few hours before delivering that State of the Union, President Obama <a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/2016/1/14/obama-welcomes-rapper-kendrick-lamar-to-the-oval-office/">met with rapper Kendrick Lamar</a>. Obama announced that Lamar’s hit “How Much a Dollar Cost” was <a href="http://www.nme.com/news/kendrick-lamar/90246">his favorite song of 2015</a>. The song comes from the album <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Pimp_a_Butterfly"><em>To Pimp a Butterfly</em></a><em>.</em></p> <p><em> </em>The album cover shows a crowd of young African-American men massed in front of the White House. In celebratory fashion, all are gripping champagne bottles and hundred-dollar bills; in front of them lies the corpse of a white judge, with two Xs drawn over his closed eyes.</p> <p>To play the old “what if” game that is necessary in the bewildering age of Obama: what if President George W. Bush had invited to the White House a controversial country Western singer, and declared that the singer’s hit song was the president’s favorite in 2008, from an album whose grotesque cover had a crowd of NASCAR-looking, white redneck youth bunched up with an African-American official dead at their feet?</p> <p>And what if the next day, Bush told the nation that he regretted not being able to bring the country together? Would there have been media calls for Bush’s impeachment?</p> <p>Tearing the country apart is the unfortunate legacy of Obama—and it will continue in Pavlovian fashion until January 2017.</p></p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/a-legacy-of-infamy/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div><div class="spForumLink"><span><a href="http://2thepointnews.com/user-forums/article-discussion/a-legacy-of-infamy/"><img class='' src='https://www.2thepointnews.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/blog-linking/resources/images/sp_BlogLink.png' alt='sp_BlogLink' /> Join the forum discussion on this post</a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-12111" class="art-post art-article post-12111 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-guest-authors category-c90-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/opec-and-the-saudis-cannot-defeat-us-shale/" rel="bookmark" title="OPEC AND THE SAUDIS CANNOT DEFEAT US SHALE">OPEC AND THE SAUDIS CANNOT DEFEAT US SHALE</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="10:36 pm">January 29, 2016</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/ambrose/" title="View all posts by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard">Ambrose Evans-Pritchard</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><p>Hedge funds and private equity groups armed with $60 billion of ready cash are ready to snap up the assets of bankrupt US shale drillers, almost guaranteeing that America’s tight oil production will rebound once prices start to recover.</p> <p>Daniel Yergin, founder of IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates, says it is impossible for OPEC to knock out the US shale industry though a war of attrition even if it wants to, and even if large numbers of frackers fall by the wayside over coming months.</p> <p>“The management may change and the companies may change but the resources will still be there,” he told me here at the World Economic Forum in Davos<em>.</em> The great unknown is how quickly the industry can revive once the global glut starts to clear - perhaps in the second half of the year - but it will clearly be much faster than for the conventional oil.</p> <p>“It takes $10 billion and five to ten years to launch a deep-water project.
