<p>Very nice article. It is not unlike athletic coaching, which, although requiring some technical ability and imparting guidance, is primarily about causing people to believe in themselves and that they can achieve something important if they are willing to work at it. Without that belief, which is often hard to keep alive, no one can summon up the energy to deal with the daily life obstacles that we all encounter. </p>
