SCORING!

No, not that kind!

We're talking about emotional wins, reaching and accomplishing a goal and then…

Well, listen in to this one…

"So," she said, "my dad came for a visit.  He was his usual, abusive self… But this time I reacted differently.  I called him on it - nicely - but I did it!"

And?

"Well, I got through to him…"

And?

"Well, there really is no 'and'.  I mean I don't want to congratulate myself because I know it won't last!  Next time I see him he'll be a jerk again."

 So, here's the question:

What does giving yourself a gold star mean?

Does it really mean you've changed the other person's behavior?

What do ya say?

Is it ok to have only changed yours?
