			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever wonder about who you were in a past life? Now you can find out! Cassandra is now available for Past Life Sessions. Cassandra can perform a sessions no matter where you live! She will send you a recording of the session on CD to keep!</p>
<p>Get yours now: <a href="http://cassystarot.com/product_info.php?cPath=2&amp;products_id=16">Past Life Readings</a></p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The concept of  reincarnation has been around for thousands                          of years. Whether or not you are concerned about  karmic                          debt, a Past Life Session can be informative and  at the                          very least interesting. Many of you have already  heard                          about Past Life Regression through hypnosis.  This is where                          a hypnosis specialist actually hypnotizes the  subject                          and takes them backward in time through their  past lives.                          But&#8230;how do you find out about past lives if  you are                          one of those people who cannot be hypnotized or  are skeptical                          of hypnosis in general? That&#8217;s where Cassandra  can help.                          A good medium can not only connect you with  loved ones                          who have crossed over, but some can actually  access your                          past lives as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How is it  done? Cassandra answers: “When I am doing                          a mediumship reading, I am making direct contact  with                          a living soul that has crossed from this world  to the                          next. Whenever I am doing a psychic reading or a  Past                          Life reading for someone, I am making contact  with their                          Higher Self. It&#8217;s like having a conversation  from soul                          to soul, only the language is different in that  symbols,                          images, words, and thoughts are used instead of  just spoken                          language. I can access their past lives through  this conversation                          with their Higher Self.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During a  Past Life Session, Cassandra makes no judgments                          about karmic debts or life lessons. She merely  says what                          she sees. Each client receives a CD recording of  the session,                          so the client can hear Cassandra in session.  Most recordings                          are 20-40 minutes in length.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It takes a  tremendous amount of physical energy to do                          a past life reading. You will not get every  single life                          you have ever lived in a reading. You will,  however, get                          information from past lives that your Higher  Self is willing                          to reveal in that particular session. Cassandra  is very                          truthful in letting people know that she can  only see                          what the Higher Self reveals. If it is not time  for the                          client to have revelation in certain areas of  their life,                          then their Higher Self will not reveal it at  that time.                          If it is necessary to the person at the time,  and if it                          is information that will not take the client off  their                          Life Path, then the information is there to be  read. But                          the Higher Self does act as a guardian of the  gate, so                          to speak, for the good of the client. Some past  lives                          will be brief, vague hints of things, others  will be very                          detailed and vivid. Do not expect to be  Cleopatra or the                          Queen of Scotland. Not everyone can be these  people in                          a past life. Do, however, expect to have a  varied outcome                          with many lives switching from male to female.  Most sessions                          reveal three to six lives. Oftentimes clear  dates and                          names are not revealed. These are not as  necessary to                          the soul as the experience itself. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>“I  wish everyone could see what I see when                          I am doing a reading. The detail is amazing at  times.                          I can literally see the weave in clothing, the  threads,                          the texture of the skin and hair. Words are  inadequate                          to express these experiences.”</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In a  reading, it is also important to know that Cassandra                          cannot always describe such detail because she  is trying                          to express what she is seeing as quickly as  possible without                          losing the important facts of the experience. In  some                          sessions, the images are very quick and pass by  fast.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, if you  have always been curious about what sort of                          lives you may have led in the past, order your  session                          today. It&#8217;s so easy. All you need to do is click  on the                          order button below, give Cassandra your name and  birthdate                          and then sit back and wait for your CD to arrive  in the                          mail. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Nowadays, <a href="http://cassystarot.com/" class="kblinker" title="More about tarot &raquo;">tarot</a> authors tend to steer clear of the tougher subjects, such as death and illness, but the tarot was designed to encompass all the psychological, philosophical, and physicalities of life. We may try to help beginners wade into the kiddy pool, but when beginners are on their own, the possibility is there for a big dive into the deep end, which can result in confusion. In my opinion, these subjects should not be sugar-coated. Instead, we should strive to educate as much as possible so beginners can relax and enjoy the oracular experience offered. Let&#8217;s bear in mind that any divination tool is a key to unlocking your own intuition. The divination tool is not an entity with a mind of its own. Remember that we are working with energies: our own energy, the energy of the seeker, and the energy of the universe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We all want to offer the lighter side of the tarot, the excitement, the fun, the wonder. &#8220;Will I find love? Will he or she be my perfect mate? Will I get a good job?&#8221; But life does have its setbacks, its hard times, its tragedy, and these subjects cannot ever really be avoided. This is part of our walk with Spirit. When we seek, really SEEK to find, we must embrace the ALL, not just the SOME. This is the burden of a psychic. We are not just given the good. Besides which, some tragic events can be avoided if the oracle is properly interpreted. But we want the beginner to fully understand. You must walk before you run. Don&#8217;t rush the <a href="http://cassystarot.com/Store/Tarot-Cards" class="kblinker" title="More about card &raquo;">cards</a>, don&#8217;t rush the learning. Spirit opens up to you as you can handle it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you become panicked or you are a beginner, and you are concerned about any &#8220;grief&#8221; cards appearing too often in your throws, I suggest that you remove the offending cards for a brief time, perhaps even a few months, until the feelings of dread dissipate and you&#8217;ve gained some more knowledge of the cards and spreads. Doing this resets your pattern of thinking. Once you understand how to maintain the cards and meanings in context, and your confidence is well established, these cards will no longer cause panic, fear, or dread. You will understand their importance in the deck, and you will have learned to accept their message in context.</span></div>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the reasons why seasoned <a href="http://cassystarot.com/" class="kblinker" title="More about tarot &raquo;">tarot</a> readers don&#8217;t recommend that beginners read for themselves is because of the pitfall of becoming fixated on certain <a href="http://cassystarot.com/Store/Tarot-Cards" class="kblinker" title="More about card &raquo;">cards</a>. For example, if you own a copy of my <a href="http://cassystarot.com/Store/Tarot-Books" class="kblinker" title="More about book &raquo;">book</a> Tarot Cassy&#8217;s Way, which is just the beginning in a series of teaching tools, you may read that some tarot readers view the combination of &#8220;Death&#8221; and the &#8220;Ten of Swords&#8221; as a portent that someone close to the seeker may undergo a physical death. What can then happen is that every time the beginner comes across these two cards in a spread, they will fixate on the worst-case-scenario meaning, fear will set in, and they will become panicked about this card combination. They may even begin to employ subconscious behaviors during a shuffle to avoid those cards altogether.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In future projects, I will be offering suggestions that will outline these concepts more thoroughly, but for now, let&#8217;s take a look at some simple concepts. First, let me start by saying that the Death/Ten of Swords combination does not always mean death. And there are many guidelines to consider before deciding that the above-mentioned combination may in fact mean death. First, the question is the key. If the seeker poses a career question, and the reader chooses a spread in which the Death card appears in the &#8220;Upcoming Event&#8221; position, and the Ten of Swords appears in the &#8220;Obstacle&#8221; position, this may mean that the seeker may be experiencing some drastic changes at their current job that will force them to move on into a new career opportunity. Bear in mind that Death is a card of transitions and permanent change. The number Ten is the number of completion, the end of a cycle, which always means that the beginning of a new cycle is imminent. The Ten of Swords, or &#8220;the stabbed in the back&#8221; card, may also imply that the seeker has events ongoing at their current job that is not in their best interest, anyway. Co-workers may be undermining their position. If the &#8220;throw&#8221; is what I call a cold reading, with no question posed, the Death/Ten of Swords combination may have an altogether different meaning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Secondly, consider the type of spread, or the arrangement/layout of the cards. The bigger the spread, the more you must consider the positioning of the cards and the surrounding cards before you leap into the abyss of assuming death is on the horizon. Where do these two cards fall in the spread? What is the proximity of the two cards? You may also want to lay out some clarifying cards, alongside the Death card or the Ten of Swords. This can help alleviate any worries or concerns. But, mainly, keep the interpretation of the spread pertinent to the question posed. This will go a long way in helping you read the spread accurately. The meanings in books are there as a guideline only. The key is listening to your own intuition and keeping the meanings in context with the question asked. This is why there are so many variations of meanings in tarot card books. Because the meaning is governed by the question posed and the spread used.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">A simple meditation that you can use to help keep you in a state of faith is the following.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Imagine that you are sitting in a room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The room is of a comfortable temperature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The chair you sit on is like a very comfortable throne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Sitting on this throne gives you the impression that you are in a position of authority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And you <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are</em> in a position of authority, whether you know it or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You have authority over your own life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You alone make the decisions for your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Let’s make the throne red, because red is a power color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The throne you sit on is gold with red fabric, and it seems that it was made for you because it fits your body perfectly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The floor around you is white marble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>There is nothing in the room except you and the throne you sit on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But the room is comfortable in every way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>In every way, your body feels comfortable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You feel no pain, no coldness, no fatigue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Everything in your body is working as it should.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You are in a perfect state of health and comfort as you sit on your golden throne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Now, as you focus outward, you notice that there are doors all around the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Curious, you rise from your throne and go to one of these doors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You open the door and peer through it, but you remain in the marble room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You realize that there are people on the other side of the door, and the door that you have opened is actually a window in space-time which allows you to see one possibility of your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You see yourself acting out whatever that possibility is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It could be that you are standing in front of a group of children, teaching them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It could be that you are accepting employment for a new job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Whatever your mind creates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You go to another door and look through, and there is another future possibility laid out before you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Now you are beginning to realize that the room is your central self, the throne is the potential that you have authority over, and the doors show you that you have choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Which choice you make is entirely up to you.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It’s important during this meditation to always remain positive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>On the other side of those doors, always imagine something good happening to you, something useful, productive, and happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Always a good outcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>If your mind starts to insert a worrisome possibility, instantly close the door and go back to your throne to reset and remind yourself that you are in authority here, and there are no bad outcomes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">We are living in stressful times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The economic situation affects all of us on some level, and some of us are seriously impacted by recent events with our economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Jobs have been lost, homes are being lost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Despite how bad these times are, I would like to offer some hope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Trials and stressful situations are when we are most likely to lose sight of who we are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>We are the perfect expression of the Divine. We are spiritual beings. It is important that we remind ourselves daily that our physical body is not our entire substance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This is only a part of what we are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Our spirit can offer us <a href="http://cassystarot.com/Insights" class="kblinker" title="More about insight &raquo;">insight</a>, hope, and gifts that we totally forget about as we become mired in worry and struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>To stay focused on our spirit can be challenging when our physical needs are not being met, and we feel that all is lost and there is no hope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>So, I’d like to give you some simple tools to help you through these times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>First, we must be aware of the physical “so-called realities.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>According to Maslow’s Hierarchy, humans are governed by certain needs, the first of which is physiological needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>We all need food, water, sleep, and the like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>When push comes to shove, this most basic need will always be the first and foremost compass in life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Secondly, we all need safety and shelter, which usually means we need an income, or some form of employment, and a place to live.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>For the purpose of this article, I will focus on these two needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Maslow’s Hierarchy only covers the human, physical requirements, which include the mental state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But there is a deeper state, that of the spirit, that can override and guide us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And this spiritual state needs just as much attention as our physical state.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">I’d like to offer some ways to help keep you solidly focused on your potential, rather than on your worry and fret.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>One of the most important ways that we can help ourselves is to govern what we are thinking about at all times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>There is an easy way to measure how much stress you are feeling about certain situations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Simply keep a notepad and pen by your bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>First thing in the morning, jot down the very first thoughts that you have upon those first few minutes after waking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Do the same thing at night, even if you have to turn the light back on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>What are you thinking as you drift into sleep?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Most often, the answer will be that you are focused on the dread, the fear, the worry, all the possible bad things that could happen and the worst case scenarios.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now that you know what you are focused on, you can work to change your focus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Every morning, as soon as a worry thought enters your consciousness, stop it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>For serious worriers, like myself, you may have to shout “STOP” loudly to startle yourself out of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This is a simple but effective method.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But it’s also important that once you stop the worry thought you must replace it with a positive thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And I’m not going to suggest positive thinking mantras, although they can be useful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I’m simple going to offer two phrases to help you reset your thinking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>One is: “I am the perfect expression of the Divine.” (Discover The Power Within You, by Eric Butterworth.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The second phrase is: “I am pure potential.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">These two phrases release you from the notion that you are mired in the physical reality of a bad situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It also reminds you that you have potential at all times, if you lift your eyes and seek it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">Once you get accustomed to using these phrases, you might add another phrase, anything that suits you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>An example would be: “As pure potential, anything is possible.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">If you have lost your job and you don’t know how to make ends meet, you might want to tell yourself, out loud, several times a day something like the following.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>“Since I am pure potential, and anything is possible, I accept the possibility that I might come out of this situation in a better position than before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It’s possible that I will be offered a better job with better pay.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">The point is that you want to remind yourself that all things really are possible, and that those possibilities don’t have to be bad ones, they can just as easily be good ones.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So, monitor your thoughts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Turn all the worry thoughts into belief thoughts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Think on possibilities and potentials that are good outcomes rather than bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This helps alleviate some stress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And tell yourself every day, “I will be okay.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">It’s important that you circumvent as much stress as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Stress causes chemical changes in the body which can result in a depression of the immune system, as well as other concerns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Exercise to release these chemicals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Take a walk outdoors in a park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Toss a ball for your kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Play with the dog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Do some physical, enjoyable activity every single day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And make sure to get twenty minutes of sunshine on your face every single day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Sunshine promotes the manufacture of Vitamin D in your skin, which alleviates depression and boosts the immune system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>(Hey, I didn’t get that Doctorate in Natural Health for nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span> <img src='http://cassystarot.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Sunshine and outdoor activities will go a long way in helping you combat the pressures and stress.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">It’s also vital that you find a way to laugh as often as you possibly can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>If playing with your kids helps you to laugh, then play with your kids often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This will not only help you, but it will help your children as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>As adults, we can sometimes forget that our emotions affect our children, and they will be stressed about the economy as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>If watching comedy on television helps you to laugh, then watch comedy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Just make sure you find ways to laugh, as long as it doesn’t harm someone else.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">Don’t be afraid to ask for help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And if you get turned down, don’t allow yourself to become resentful of the person or institute that did turn you down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Take the high road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Keep your spirit pure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>While the grieving process incorporates powerful emotions such as anger, resentment, frustration, and the like, you want to deal with that emotion, let it run its course, but do not hang on to it for the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The main reason I say this is because you don’t want the emotion to overrule your spiritual aspect and short-circuit the positive thoughts that can keep you moving forward into your potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You are always in a state of Divine potential, which makes anything possible as long as you remain focused and in a state of faith, or believing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Times New Roman;">If someone offers you advice such as, “Things could be worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You could be fighting your way through a jungle in a war-torn country with bombs falling all around you,” do NOT take that in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>When people say these things, it compounds the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You don’t get out of your own dread and worry by thinking about someone else’s dread and worry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You get out of it by examining your potential and your possibilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Besides which, you <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are</em> fighting your way through a jungle in a war-torn land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>If you are in a difficult situation, that is precisely how you will feel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You will have feelings of fear, dread, worry, abandonment, anger, grief.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>You may feel like no one cares about you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This is all natural.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But it’s important that you feel them, deal with them, and let them pass you by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Do not cling to them, and do not make those feelings a part of your future. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
