Thank you Cy...opening up I think is a key to moving forward..
She was great, in a way relieved, I didnt talk about the alcohol (thats too much after my dad) but just letting her know that I had been through a lot and trusted her enough to tell her I think made her feel good. There was one point where I think she was going to cry..and then I was, but I explained that I hadnt told her because I thought it would have been too much for her to take (with her illness, my brothers breakdown etc) I think she admired me for coping with it all....Living now and not just existing since 9th July 2008

This seems quite apt for all of us just now...
A John Harricharan Article
I have a bad habit... actually, a number of them. But I
won't bore you with the entire list. I just want to
discuss one that I believe many of us have. If we would
try to correct it, our lives and businesses would
become much more productive.
You see, the habit I speak of is a very common one--
the one where we try to learn everything about the
problem, then proceed to do nothing. Let me explain.
Among my other interests, I have some Internet
businesses. In order to learn more, I buy every book or
audio about web businesses and yet, many times, do very
little with the information I've bought.
There are reasons for this. But, on closer examination,
many of those reasons are simply excuses. The trick is
to do something with what you've got, to take action.
There is no guarantee that you'll succeed if you try,
but you'll definitely not succeed if you do nothing.
Many people consult with me about their problems. They
call from all over the globe. Do you know what is the
greatest block to their success? The fear of taking
action.
Still worse, they expect things to happen without
taking any steps to assist the process. They look for
some outside force to change their lives without they,
themselves, becoming personally involved.
I am reminded of the story about the man who went to
church every day to pray. His only prayer was "Dear
God, please let me win the lottery." One day, in deep
prayer, he was explaining to God the good things he'd
do with the money if he won. Suddenly, a deep voice
filled the entire church. "Give me a break, Jake," it
said, "Buy a ticket."
And so it is with us. If we want to succeed, we must do
something about it. We must take action and participate
in our own life. The many resources are useless unless
I use them. It used to be that I'd try to learn
everything I could about how to get my web business up
and running. Then I'd sit around and wonder what it is
I should do, or if I could do it right.
I'd hope that something magical would happen and that
tens of thousands of visitors would come to my web
site. But it didn't work that way. It was only when I
actively started using what I had learned and
maintaining an attitude of success that things started
to work.
Yes, my business runs vary well now. Yet I am sure
there is still room for improvement, but it's nothing
like it used to be. We have to do something with what
we have. The secret is not to just become information
collectors, but to act on the information.
I heard the story of a preacher who was walking through
an overgrown area of wild brush, thorns and weeds. It
certainly wasn't the best place for farming. All of a
sudden, he came upon this beautiful farm and saw the
farmer working in the distance.
He walked over to the farmer and commented, "Brother,
what a beautiful farm the good Lord has given you."
Wiping the sweat from his brow, the old farmer looked
up at the preacher, smiled and replied, "Reverend, you
should have seen it when the good Lord had it."
We must take what we have and add some action to
produce the results we desire ... and not only action,
but spirit and enthusiasm. This is the way of our
relationships, our finances and businesses and even our
very lives. We can transform them all by taking right
action. Think, but do not get trapped in the process of
thinking. Analyze, but don't get caught in the
"paralysis of analysis."
Take action. Do something with what you have. All of us
have talents and abilities that are unique. But those
same talents and abilities will get us nowhere if we
spend a lifetime wondering about them. Take action.
Take the step today. The rest will follow.Living now and not just existing since 9th July 2008
