Dear Rob, This one was really good; all of us know of such things, and yet this was like something that provides a threshold energy to cross, what my science subjects remind me of, the ‘activation barrier’ required to come out of your current orbit and go into another system (or create your own!!) Thanks

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, I read all your posts but rarely comment and this is because I feel that you are on a higher plane from me. I know this is not the way I want to live my life and kind of have a vision in my head of what I'm aiming for (but it is more like daydreams) and my problem is that I don't know how to build the bridge to get there. I find it's so easy to get stuck in patterns of living/reaction to life but so difficult to break them. Maybe people who feel like I do (stuck) need some kind of counselling (paid of course) but there again the problem I've always worried about is investing a lot of money in someone (the counsellor) who you really know nothing about. And I did once have a very bizarre 'course of treatment' with someone who claimed to be a healer, which completely put me off. The other problem is that no-one ever really talks about these things – except you! I want to improve my life but don't really know where to start….

Great post… I used to deal poorly with stress myself as a fire-fighter and emergency medical technician.. drove me to physical illness… Now I've learned how to reduce my stress level, cope with the stress in my life and manage my time and inner energy wisely. HUGE difference. I've now devoted my life to helping others manage stress and stressful situations…. Amazing how we can find our callings in the most obscure places, huh? I love your writing… keep up the good work!
