I thought this was magic. You’re stuff is so uplifting – you make me really believe I can do this – and I am already to some degree with your help! I think seeing and hearing you say the words helps it to come to life. Thank you so much

Hi Rob. Great to see your email in my inbox again. Hope you are well. Thanks for some great insight as usual. Just thought I’d update you on how things are going with me. I’m feeling more happiness and joy every day. Sure, I have my down days when my job gets on my nerves and people annoy me, but they’re getting fewer. I’m still in the career that I’m not sure is for me, but I’m in a much better place mentally now. I think a lot of my stress before came from wanting something better RIGHT NOW, but now I’ve realised that, yes, this career may not be for me, but I’m just looking for the right opportunity/direction and keeping myself in a good place until it shows itself to me. I’ve also just got married – back from honeymoon for 2 weeks now and things are going great. I’d just like to say thanks for your help when we exchanged emails last year. You’ve helped (along with others) to enable me to get a better mind set on life and I feel I can deal with most things from this secure baseline. p.s., your mantra of “do you want to be right or happy?” seems to work well in marriage, as I’m never right, so the default is happy! Warmest regards

Heya, I was so incredibly worked up over a situation that I can’t change. Sometimes, when you’re in the heat of the moment, you can’t take your head back out. I don’t know how I stumbled onto this but I’m glad I did because it helped calm me down. Thank you!

Excellent article. I read all the other articles related to this topic. Thank you for giving a deep insight into love, life and happiness. Although some of the concepts are a bit difficult to accept easily, but yet i felt a great sense of relief after reading them. I believe that “Patience” is one of the most important qualities a person should have. But is sad that it is lacking in most of the people in the modern time. Hope to read more on this site. Thank you once again. Regards,
