That's wonderful advice Shamou. It seems contradictory to your posts about taking action. The only reason I would take action, like taking out yet another loan or getting a job I hate, would be strictly from fear of the unknown. Because I have put myself in such a dire financial situation (which I purposely put myself into and I believe manifested, so I would be forced to deal with my dragons) I am working minute by minute literally to face my fears, live in the here and now, and develop my self confidence. My time is limited before I just crumble and let the fear take over but I'm determined.
You say, I need to work. To me, that seems the easy way out and just prolongs the fear that there isn't something out there looking out for me and guiding me through this universe. I'm ready to believe!
