The Answer To Your Problems...STOP IT!

Do you constantly find yourself caught up in the same situations that prevent you from doing what you really want to do in life? Your past doesn't have to determine your future.

Do you constantly find yourself caught up in the same situations that prevent you from doing what you really want to do in life? Are you constantly putting out the same fires? Do you feel like you are pouring water out of a sinking boat?  Or are you simply afraid to take risks, move on or make commitments because the time is not 'right'?  Worse yet, can you relate to a hamster on a spinning wheel?  You are not alone.

Like a brick wall, it's easy to take individual problems and stack them up to build a wall that prevents you from taking the next step in your life.  Some 'bricks' are easier to deal with than others, but sometimes we simply need to psych ourselves and STOP IT!  Your past doesn't have to determine your future. Your future doesn't have to be determined by your past.  If you make up excuses and bring up your past, "just don't go there".  It is easier said than done and perhaps you need help chipping away some bricks.  What do you really want? Are you doing the things that will get you there?

The following comedy skit about a counseling session is hilarious yet has a lot of truth in it.  Enjoy!
