Nothing
is ever as bad as you expect it will be.
The anticipation is most often the worst part. |
| |
|
You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck
in that comfort
zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.

The bottom line is that
money cannot buy health. But if you feel good,
you'll have the stamina to reach for the stars. You'll be able to do your
job efficiently, keep up with your kids, and still have enough left over
to enjoy an evening out. You really have a lot more control than you might
think. I encourage you to take responsibility for your own good mood,
good health, and great attitude. These are things you can control right
now. If you choose to be less affected and more effective, being
physically fit can make all the difference in the world.

Didn't
we all have dreams when we were young? But the reality of
making
a living took over when we had to pay our bills, rent our
apartments, raise
our families, and take care of others. We sacrificed our
dreams, repressed
them, or delegated them to the background until they were so
far away
that
we forgot they ever existed.

Truly
successful, emotionally mature people operate quite differently
from your typical reactionary. When you observe these connoisseurs
of human development you see people who when faced with a
challenging situation react in way that is calm and calculated in
fashion. Rather than ruminate and flail against the imagined
purveyors of Murphy’s Law, these people get busy, get energized,
and get creative with problem solving. Those that are successful
in life deal with challenge and change in a pro-active way. They
quietly contemplate on the best possible outcome of a given
situation, no matter how dire things look on the surface. They get
good advice from trusted resources and well-intentioned friends.
They put together a plan of action and get themselves in a
pro-active frame of mind. Their mindset alone tips the karma scale
towards the best possible outcome so even when things don’t work
out, the damage or fall-out is tempered by the force of their good
will and productive intentions.

We
all want to feel secure about our lives, our finances, and our
future.
Opportunities are everywhere and, contrary to public opinion, they
knock
more than once. They actually knock so hard, they can knock you
over.
But all too often, you aren't paying attention when they arrive,
or you're
intimidated and too afraid to embrace them. You must remember that
success is not a random event. Rather, it arises as a direct
result of
circumstances meeting attitude and preparation. Once you believe
in
yourself and have a positive plan of action, you can tap into a
limitless
potential of opportunity and success. |

If you're wondering when you should give to or
serve someone else,
I believe in doing it spontaneously, perhaps in a shared moment of
emotion. Or any time you feel like someone needs your support.
Whether you do it all the time, occasionally, or when the
opportunity
arises, just do it. Reach out and give of yourself and your time.
I have seen, time and again, that happiness and enjoyment arise
from
being of service in simple ways. |

Until
you understand your Core Story, whatever it is, and how it made
you
who you are today, your foundation will reflect only your
unconscious beliefs
about yourself, real or imagined, positive or negative. When you
delve into
your subconscious beliefs about your lot in life, whether you
believe you
deserve to be happy or sad, successful or unsuccessful, only then
do you
have the chance to change the story that is replaying over and
over in your
head and determining how you go through life. |
| |
|
Let
that victim role go, and start thinking of yourself as a
magnificent, powerful,
and courageous being. Then sit back and enjoy the gifts the
universe showers
on you. These new, fresh experiences will reflect your healthy,
empowered vision of yourself. |

Lucinda Redick Bassett
is an American self-help author and motivational speaker and keynote
presenter.
A former agoraphobic, Bassett founded the Midwest Center for Stress
and Anxiety headquartered in Oak Harbor, Ohio, in 1984. She is the
creator of "Attacking Anxiety and Depression", which is a
15-week home study course about recovery from anxiety disorders such
as agoraphobia and panic attacks. Though she has published and
produced several products, the program "Attacking Anxiety and
Depression" is Bassett's most known product. The program is a
15-week workshop for recovery from anxiety disorder and clinical
depression, which Bassett claims often co-exist within the sufferer.
Participants may use the program by attending in-person workshops,
by purchasing an audio version, through one-on-one counseling or via
the company's web site. The program advocates an approach that is
cognitive, rather than pharmaceutical. Bassett places emphasis upon
relaxation techniques and what she refers to as "positive
thinking" as a means of recovery.
Bassett's flagship infomercial has aired on late-night television
for over a decade. She has appeared on many national American talk
shows, including the Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, the
Montel Williams Show and Hour of Power. In addition,
her work has been featured in several magazine publications,
including Family Circle, Reader's Digest, and The Journal
of Clinical Psychology.
Bassett is the mother of two children, Brittany and Sammy, and lives
in Malibu, California. Bassett's husband, David Bassett, died on
June 7, 2008 at the age of 53 of an apparent suicide.
