Patience and hard work will grind everything down

Sergey Nikolaevich, thank you so much for everything you do, for everything you have endured.

If only you knew from what hopelessness and despair you have helped our family to escape!

A year ago, I stumbled upon videos of your seminars on the Internet, and our whole life turned around. Literally yesterday, my ten-year-old daughter spoke to me heart-to-heart for the first time. Our eight-year-old autistic son has changed so much that now they wouldn't diagnose him with autism for anything; at most, it would be a «developmental delay». In just a year, he has learned to do everything that autistic children generally can't: mimic adults, make eye contact, help with household chores. He washes dishes, helps with cooking, irons clothes, and so on – not very well, admittedly, but he tries. My husband, who seriously considered divorce, has returned to us and is doing things that I never dreamed of during our ten years of marriage.

Thank you for your books, seminars, lectures.

Your books and videos have been a constant guide for me for several years now.

My long-standing horror and nightmare – my sense of superiority and condemnation – it's like a slow torture on a pyre. For the first time, the furious feeling of condemnation began to be restrained. Of course, nothing just disappeared overnight, but the emotions of condemnation and dissatisfaction became weaker, and I began to succumb to them less. Before, I could spend days and nights condemning and despising the «unworthy», the immoral, the «bad» – exhausting myself and quarreling with people. Now, I might seethe and boil, but I let go sooner – it's easier for me, and there are fewer problems.

Your invaluable information and your efforts have given me the opportunity to find my true self, although of course, I haven't fully found myself yet. But I really like myself, I like my soul that is coming alive and sometimes hurting, feeling a lot, making mistakes, rising – but I'm friends with it.

Not long ago, I was running around with fire and sword, «punishing evil». Now I try to educate both my feelings and my environment.

I have already become accustomed to difficulties, and sometimes I am afraid that there will be complete calm, but judging by the situation, it won't happen anytime soon. As they say, patience and hard work will grind everything down.

With gratitude to you and your work, your reader
