Why do I feel so anxious about my career and future?
Suppose that you were on your way to meet two close friends. Will you feel anxious or afraid of the meeting?Of course you won’t but what if you were going to deliver a presentation in front of 100 persons that you don’t know, won’t you be afraid?Yes you will only be afraid if you have doubts about your ability to handle the presentation. We fear the future when we have doubts about our ability to handle future events. In the first instance this might look like something that is out of our hands but on careful observation you will find that we fear the future because we ignore getting prepared on intention.For example if you are afraid not to find a job then this means that you feel that you are not that prepared for the job market. In order to kill that fear you must take actions that help you become reassured that you are well prepared (like taking additional courses, learning new skills, writing a good CV....etc)The main reason people remain afraid of the future is that they never dare to respond to their fears by taking actions but instead they ignore the warnings and try to forget about them.As long as you ignore the sources of your fears your subconscious mind will let them grow in order to draw your attention to them once again. You don’t need a miracle to get rid of the fear of the future but you just need to:Listen to the messages and understand them: Once you start listening to your subconscious mind you will understand its concerns and you will have a clue about the actions you should take in order to kill the fearsListening is not enough: Some people listen well but do nothing about the things they listen to. It’s the same as sitting with a friend every few days who reminds you of your fears then leave without helping you. Listening is only one part of the solution but the complete salvation lies in taking actions right after you listen to the problemBeware of self deception : Some people try to find an excuse for not taking actions by deceiving themselves. The popular examples of self deception are claiming that you don’t have time, that you are happy with what you have while you are not or by trying to convince yourself that you are helpless in order to escape the responsibility!! Getting rid of the fear of the future is no rocket science, become brave enough to listen to your fears then take powerful actions to reassure yourself that you can handle them.Source The Ultimate Source for Understanding Yourself and others
I want to join the military but I won't kill people?
joining the militray topay for school while spouting pacifist crap is NOT the correct choice. you are there serve the country in whatevr capacity required and if you are unwilling to proterct and defend..and that means SHOOTING TO KILL if necessary, then do not enlist. ask Shoshana Johnson... (a Cook..) or Lori Piestawa or Jessica Lynch about being in a non cambat position..and having to fire your weapon.
Fairy tale on hold: Fiance's parents want us to postpone wedding date. What should we do?
My fiance (26 Years old) and I (28) have been dating for over 5 years, engaged for 5 months. We are both college graduates with great careers, own a new condo and are financially stable. Ideally, we'd like to be married for a year or two to travel and enjoy each other's company before having children. Her parents are VERY old fashioned and strict. They won't allow us to live together or go on trips alone until we are married. The biggest issue is that they don't want us to get married until her sister graduates college in may 2011!! they feel like there should be a transfer of responsibility from the oldest child to the next. Personally, I would love to make her parents happy, but it doesn't make sense to do so at our expense. My fiance and I don't want to wait, but don't want to create tension with her family. We'd be willing to wait if we were able to live together atleast on a limited basis because IF we wait then that would be another year we'd have to wait before spending time together meaning we'd have to wait 2-3 years before having children and dating for 7 years. Are we being selfish by planning to stick to our tentative date of getting married before the end of the year. I'd hate to lose focus on what we are really trying to accomplish; 2 people made for each other getting married. I thought that our happiness should be important and our wedding should be about us. Why are we putting too much effort to make her parents happy? How should we approach this situation? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
Can someone help me with an astrology reading?
Hi, I took a look at your chart and it seems as if you have been experiencing some heavy and difficult transits. First of all, transiting Uranus, the planet of sudden changes, unpredictability and instability, has been transiting your Midheaven. The Midheaven or MC rules your career, while its opposite point, the IC, rules your home life. This explains the difficult and disturbing changes and upheavals you have been experiencing in relation to your career and home. Secondly, Saturn, the planet of hard times and restrictions has been making several contacts with your chart over the past year. Earlier this year, Saturn was stationed over your Moon for several months. The Moon rules our emotions, so when it experiences a heavy and prolonged contact from Saturn, it normally causes depression, negativity and pessimism. Saturn has also been impacting on your Descendant. The Descendant is one of the points in the chart which rules relationships. This explains the negative experience in this are of life. Saturn is currently transiting your natal Mars and Uranus. Since Mars rules action, a Saturn/Mars contact normally causes frustrated action. Whatever we try to achieve, Saturn holds us back. Saturn's contact with your natal Uranus would further contribute to the state of unpredictability and change. Saturn represents the structures of our life, while Uranus' effect is to break down those structures. But now for the good news. You will be well and truly rid of Saturn's influence in the next couple of weeks. Uranus will remain on your Midheaven until the end of the year, after which this influence will also pass away. Life should then begin to settle down for you. Moreover, from the beginning of next year, Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, will be transiting your 7th house of love and relationships and impacting your natal Venus. This should bring about some far happier experiences in relationships for you.
