I'm constantly afraid lately...

Q:  I'm constantly afraid lately... of losing my job, my spouse, of being alone. Mike, can you offer some insight?

A:  Even though your fears are extremely logical (on the surface), match them up with your own spiritual awareness, maybe even putting pen to paper, and they'll quickly be exposed as frauds. Even if your worst fears materialize, so what?... you still get to RULE the eternity that remains before you! There will always be hills and valleys, it’s just that you're afraid that you'll end up in the valley... but there are no endings, just beginnings. The hill will present itself, and you will thrive again.

You will prevail, and you are forever - you just can't see the other side yet. Visualize, no more than 5 minutes each day, the EMOTIONAL FEELINGS of happiness and security. DO NOT PUT ANY OTHER PERSON OR YOUR JOB IN THE PICTURE! But maybe imagine driving down a familiar road with your heart just leaping for joy, imagine calling or writing friends telling them of your happiness, and imagine being with old buddies, or new "faceless" friends thinking how beautiful life is - laughing, talking and sharing. Then let it go until the next day.
