Jyotsana Sharma

Every counselor that I have met has a different style and approach about working with clients. No matter what our theoretical orientation, we often have certain techniques that we have tried, tested, and developed over the years that define our authentic counseling self.

I have to say upfront that the term Karma that I am going to talk about is not the meaning or definition of Karma that is used in the urban dictionary way…in memes or quotes, t-shirts, coffee mugs etc. That meaning of Karma means dealing with consequences or more like the saying: as you sow, so shall you reap.

“Do you ever get tired of being positive?” asked my friend. “Whatever do you mean?” I asked. “Tired of being upbeat and positive and patient and hopeful?” she continued.

Have you ever come across a nice blog, a Facebook post or a tweet that you agreed with a 100%? Have you ever experienced scrolling down to the end and reading comments that other people have provided in the comments or reaction sections?

I have often thought about what inspires people. I’m a quote user. I search and search for extended periods of time if I want to use a quote for a painting, or a birthday craft project, or just to have a discussion with a client sometimes. It has to fit, it has to be inspirational.
