I keep getting bad news after bad news. I am doing my best to stay positive but I am about to lose everything. I keep hitting snags with my opportunities and I really don’t know how much more I can take.

I am working with one command and eft, I am now having trouble identifying where the problem even lies.

If I drank Id get drunk.

I will just try to stay calm as possible and read the book again.

Hi Capt Jack,

Hang in there. Do whatever gentle things that support you - massage, walks, nature, good friends, breathing - whatever helps you focus on something else. We all have experienced such times and losses or fear of losses. Try to see it as a process which gets you to a better place. Another thing is to take one day at a time and find things to be grateful for each day. If you can try to think of bad news as just news.

We are all thinking of you.
cheers
Pauline

Capt. Jack
I know exactly how you feel. Reading the book IS the best thing to do along with remaining calm. You know it says that when what you want doesn't come to you it is because something better is trying to come your way. You want to write down a sentence that will inspire you to keep on track. I write it down and put them around the house so that I am reminded, like washing the dishes, brushing my teeth, and sitting at my computer. Places where I know I will pass and see it. It really helps me focus on my vision and what I want to do and have. It also helps to keep negative thoughts at bay. Don't want to quelch and opportunity that is trying to reach you. Good Luck and I know it will get better for you very soon.

ATTACHMENT

It sounds to me like you’re attached a certain outcome. And things are occurring that make that outcome appear more and more unlikely. That’s why you get upset. You’re attached to a certain outcome you want.

What if the outcome you want isn’t in your and everyone’s best interests?

What if somehow you found out that if what you want to happen happens, it would lead to many things happening that you would definitely not want?

It seems to me, when we get attached to a certain outcome we are playing God. We are believing we know all there is to know about what is best for us, and we have made a belief that a certain outcome or condition is it. We make a certain outcome or circumstance right and any deviation from it wrong.

Then, when things seem to deviate from what we’re attached to, we feel bad because we believe it MUST be bad that is occurring. But what if we’re mistaken?

There is a story of a lady who went to war and lost a leg. Now, isn’t it easy enough to assume that losing a leg is a terrible thing? That’s something most of us would just assume. But, since losing that leg, the woman has gone on to say the experience really opened her up to a much greater life experience, one that she would not have if she had two legs.

There is a story of a man who lost every material thing he had, in the 1929 Depression. And it prompted him to examine and change his beliefs about many things. He went on to become a very rich man.

You call what is happening bad. It seems so obvious to you that it is bad. But what if it’s a big blessing in disguise? What if it’s exactly what needs to happen, so that your true greater good can manifest?

Attachments, Probably. It is my CMI and how I got here I felt was done by inspired action. Things were going smooth and things seemed to be going along easily and effortlessly. Now there are things seemingly beyond my control popping up blocking my way.



Other issues with family. My wife told my oldest 2 that I am not helping her with bills which is untrue 99% of my money goes towards the house bills but its not enough to cover all of the bills. Now my two oldest wont talk to me.


I had to move again and I am just not comfortable here yet.


It's all my fault too, I have spent too much time thinking and talking about whats appears to be going on in my life. I just can't believe where I am at. It's just difficult and I can't get out of my own way to make it better...

CaptJack,

If I were with you I’d encourage you to get to peace within yourself. I know it can be done. I’ve done it and others have done it. One thing it takes is, it takes making experiencing inner peace an acceptable option.

Nothing outside of you has to change, in order for you to have inner peace. But is it acceptable to you?

Do you think God wants you to suffer?

“We are really advocates of just getting as happy as you can be which takes care of everything. Even if you don't have a reason to be happy, make it up. Fantasize it. Make a decision that you're going to be happy one way or another no matter what.” Abraham-Hicks

“We are meant to shatter any barriers that keep us from being happy and peaceful.” – from 'The One' by Kathy Freston

Do you know who Rebecca Fine is? Here's what she's said:

“Tending to your own thoughts and feelings and letting yourself become the perfect match to your desires brings you joy and peace. And I promise you that your own joy and peace are the keys to everything -- EVERYTHING -- you want, for yourself and others.” - Rebecca Fine

And, consider this thought:

“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Capt Jack...I've been there, done that...more than once in my own life. Watching everything you worked and dreamed about go away can have a major impact on your mind, body and spirit. But not necessarily in a "bad" way.

It's a matter of how you choose to see it. I believe that the so-called "bad" things we encounter in life are really a gift the Universe, God (whatever you choose to call it) gives you so you can learn the lessons you need to learn in order to rise to even greater heights of accomplishment..personally and professionally.

I can truthfully say that, I now look back on the times I "lost everything" with gratitude. The lessons learned from those "unique experiences" have been literally worth their weight in gold.

So, its a matter of choice. You can choose to let outward appearances cower you or empower you. The choice is yours and that is a beautiful thing.

My dear friends.
I too am going through turbulent and lean times as I travel the path towards my massive Clear Mental Image where I will have immense wealth and much material things to share with those around me the way I see it you can only fully realise the beauty and shine of gold(using this to paint a mental picure for you) as you travel through much s#*t to get there such as that scene in the movie shawshank redemption when the hero character made good his escape by going through the sewer more soon as it comes to hand.

Steve,

You’re implying it is NECESSARY to go thru crap, to get to a desired destination. You are making it NOBLE and an HONOR to go thru crap. (Been there, done that.)

The teachers I respect say otherwise.

“If you let the world affect how you feel, what you are saying is, "I do not make my own decisions, I just have a Pavlovian response to anything that may twang my emotions."” Stuart Wilde in ‘Life Was Never Meant To Be A Struggle’

Notice the very title of Stuart’s book: ‘Life Was Never Meant To Be A Struggle’

When we go thru crap it’s because somehow, someway, we set it up to happen. We don’t choose it consciously. But, by paying attention to things that made us feel bad, fearful, worried, etc., we drew the crap to us. Law of Attraction.

By changing our focus and how we think about things we can change what comes into our lives.

“In any given situation, you can react dispassionately or otherwise, as you wish. Train yourself to be more forgiving of yourself, more detached, and you will see your life in an infinite sense -- not a finite sense. Everything becomes a lesson, a way of strengthening you.” From ‘Life Was Never Meant To Be A Struggle’ by Stuart Wilde

"Life was never meant to be a struggle; just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day." - Stuart Wilde

"The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be." - Bruce Lee

“You just cannot struggle your way to what you want. It has got to be easy.” Abraham-Hicks

“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“Tending to your own thoughts and feelings and letting yourself become the perfect match to your desires brings you joy and peace. And I promise you that your own joy and peace are the keys to everything -- EVERYTHING -- you want, for yourself and others.” - Rebecca Fine (Grand Poobah)

Capt Jack, Don't give up. Keep pushing through and try to remove yourself from the emotions and thoughts. Here is a story I hope will help. What the news story does not tell, is the miracle of faith going on behind the story. Fear pitted against faith. Here is the mother's quote from her blog.

"But as I spoke, I realized that faith can not grow where fear is allowed to dwell. There is not room in my heart for both. Fear is the paralyzing agent of the adversary. A first line of his defense. And so I made a choice. I must choose faith. Choose to believe. Despite the odds. Despite the grim news. Despite the reality before us."

What about the Abraham Hicks scale of emotions? You might get some relief incrementally

Thank you all for your replies.

I am sure I will be able to look back on all this someday and laugh or say that was the turning point it’s just tuff while you are going through it.

There are so many situations coming at me I feel a bit overwhelmed and its hard to keep feeling the way you want to, well right now it is for me.
