What happens when your personal financial system visits the emergency room? Some remedies for debt-related distress (from 12/10/08)

What causes you to go to the hospital emergency room? Whether it's an accident, or some part of your body is suddenly dysfunctional, your current health, maybe even your life is seriously at risk unless you visit the emergency room fast. Then, as you await a diagnosis or prognosis, you are very worried and fearful. Doctors will assess your symptoms, take your vital signs, poke, prod, ask questions about your lifestyle, take some tests, and finally decide what to do with you. How will they fix you, and what will they recommend to avoid this type of emergency in the future? Is it a disease - self-inflicted, caught by contagion, or was it genetic? Did you break something, or did something break by itself? Is one problem compounding to cause another?

Wow your NOW, the only time over which you have any control; Tap your ‘inner winner’ to determine which race is right for your destiny (from 8/6/08)

As discussed last week, when you manage the visions, voices and vibrations in your mind, heart and soul, you prepare yourself to run in the race of life and win!

Procrastinators are distracted by many things like fear of failure. In many instances they won't do anything at all, which is 100% failure! Would you find yourself stuck in the starting blocks of a race when the gun goes off? Would you stand there worrying about what the crowd will think of the way you run? You would think not, but some people are this fearful to take action in their lives. You must focus on one thing -- at least to cross that finish line, to complete your task despite your fears.
