Hello Cheryl,
Colin Powell said,”Excuse me—the person you love more than anyone is living in hell, and you don’t do whatever you can to get her out. Do you have a problem with that, sir?”

By that he meant, “I love my wife and she was deeply hurting and I did whatever I needed to do to help her hurt less.” Instead of being defensive he stood up for a deeply held value he had, which was to take care of the ones you love when they can’t do it for themselves. The power of his principles completely shamed the person asking the question.

The Dallas auditorium went completely silent with respect AND awe.

Hope that clarifies your question.

Dr. Mark,
Thank You for reminding me of the powerful response from General Powell.
I’ve been under pressue when depressed… –and moved to tears… (darn it!)
This example gives me the courage to tap my inner strength
(that I know I have!).
Thank You again…
Phil Foley
P.S. I look forward to Your next Book!

Not giving into your emotions is one of Life’s big challenges. The best advice I ever got in my life (and usually failed to follow was..’If it feels good, don’t do it !!’ I am not surprised by Colin Powell’s reaction….I have always thought of him as deliberate and cool. Great story !!
