I have a pretty good idea of how you feel. I've been there myself. The feeling is real. Don't lose hope though. Keep saying to yourself "this too shall pass" and believe it; it will. Much love, Maria Dear Annie,

It does make sense, it makes more sense to me than you can imagine. I have a pretty good idea of how you feel. I’ve been there myself. The feeling is real. Don’t lose hope though. Keep saying to yourself “this too shall pass” and believe it; it will.

Much love,

Maria

Dear Paul, your story really shook me..i somehow forgot that it is all about perspective and choice..and yes, dear Maria-M, maybe you are right, i should approach everything as a challenge and not get discouraged 'easily'..but the thing is that when you are really tired trying and feel exhausted and helpless you dont have the energy to fight..at least i think i have lost lots of mine these days..i dont know if anything of these makes sense to you, but i write it with the hope this feeling goes away... Love to each and everyone of you Annie Thank you all for your thoughts, and propositions…

And then when the problem persists, and doesn’t go away..how to remain patient? and not be disappointed?" Anxiety comes from your desire to change what is. You view it as a problem. Try to change your outlook, your attitude and see the "problem" as a challenge. If the problem persists is because it is there to teach you something about yourself, maybe the lesson it brings is "patience". Read Paulo's quote again. He says the "hardest" test on the "spiritual road” is to remain patient and to have the courage to accept the outcome of the situation, or "problem", even if is not what you expected it to be. If you haven't read Veronica Decides to die, I recomend it. For me is one of Paulo's best books. Annie you say
