Q:  I am in a tough situation at work; something has gone south and there may need to be a fall guy and others are telling me that is probably going to be me.  I am using the thoughts becomes things concept to stay focused and positive but it's extremely challenging and I find that my preference would be to believe what others are saying. Soon there will be a BIG meeting, and my fate will be decided. Any suggestions on how to reinforce my resolve so I am prepared to deal with this with minimal anxiety?  Just wondering if you had thoughts to help me with this.


A:  A couple of thoughts...

* In your mind, perhaps when visualizing, see beyond the meeting. Better, see beyond the company. You are happy, well paid and in a stable situation. The details aren't important, are they? You just want to have rewarding work, doing what you love, in a secure setting. Actually, it doesn't sound like your present employer is offering that to you, so perhaps, a change is due.
* Don't be fooled by appearances. Your happiness, comfort and financial safety are not dependant upon this job, but upon your overall thoughts, beliefs and expectations, and no one can take these from you.
* Remember that from uncertainty, springs life, growth, and better things. I'm sure you can look back at your life and see that some of the best and happiest turning points sprang from uncertainty. Suddenly, from out of the blue, there appeared an answer, a new relationship, a new job, a new understanding. Right? Well today need not be any different. The Universe is lingering near you, even now as you read these words, just looking for the opportunity to slip something wonderful in-between the seconds. Expect it.
