A wise teacher teaches through approach, not avoidance. He does not emphasize what you must avoid to escape from harm, but what you need to learn to have joy. T-6.V.3:1-2

Jesus suggests a “strength based approach” not a deficit based model. Instead of saying “Don’t do that” it is more helpful to say “Do only that.”
In Unitarian Universalism some of us covenant together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This search is for how to live our lives in ways that make us and others happy. Does this search take us in the direction of finding what we should fear or what will bring us peace and joy?
Today it is suggested that we accentuate the positive and minimize the negative.
