Gaining, Not Losing
The couple managed to frame the situation in an interesting way: rather than this whole process being about losing, it was also about gaining. It was about gaining life, gaining community, and gaining a greater sense of freedom. What if we thought of goals not as something to overcome but as what kinds of gifts that we wanted to give to ourselves? We believe that people would probably hold more to their resolutions if they were not promises to keep but gifts that we could give. After all, Danny and Lexi’s commitment is not only for them.
