The person who expressed their moral support a few weeks ago reneged and I'm back on their 'looser' list.


Anyone know of a good exorcist looking to do a little pro-bono work? Please IM me ASAP.

Monique,

1) Did you PM Dan? Just a line at the end of your long post may easily be overlooked. How do you know he didn't leave on a vacation?

2) What is happening to you today is a result of who you WERE. Change takes time to settle down and start showing effects. Did you see Steve's post on how intentions manifest?

How Intentions Manifest

I am reading James Arthur Ray's Harmonic Wealth -- and he says pretty much the same thing.

3) Every mistake, failure, painful experience is an opportunity. They scream "learn from me!" If you keep creating same kind of "negative" experience, that means you are not seeing something that you are supposed to get from it. And it'll continue to happen until you do.

Two thoughts that helped me through tough times.

What didn't happen yesterday, can still happen today.
It's wrong to assume that future will be the same as the past. We are not god, we can't see our future. If you are waiting for something positive, and if it didn't happen yesterday, or the day before, or however many years -- it still doesn't mean that it won't happen today or tomorrow.

Quitting is the only sure way to lose. Take a break, sure, but don't give up on something very dear to your soul. It doesn't matter if you're making no progress or regressing. If you believe in something, don't let any outside force or events talk you into quitting. As long as you stay in the game, things can still happen. Change often comes unexpectedly and suddenly.

Here are more posts that may help you -- (mods, please let me know if any links to my own material is illegal)
