Question:

Your messages are thought-provoking and sound so simple... yet I find them difficult to apply to my situation in life. Having two special needs young adults at home is an everyday challenge and constant worry as their future is unknown. How wonderful it would be if we could just say "yes" to your suggestions, but it doesn't work that way. Some of us have been dealt with more than we can handle. Living one day at a time is all we can do at the present moment. The courage to be free is worlds away.

Answer:

What does the unknown future have to do with what one does with their attention (and the resulting sense of self) in the moment? All fear of the future is the fear of some unconscious negative projection that the sleeping mind first creates, and that then resists its own mis-creation. Do what's in your power...i.e., be attentive to what your thoughts are telling you is real, instead of trying to do what is not in your power, i.e., protect yourself from whatever is darkly imagined.

I am not saying that your situation is not challenging, only that you need to meet the real challenge each moment, which is to be watchful of whatever is at work within you trying to frighten or worry you. Make this shift in your awareness and you not only liberate yourself from the painful burden of tormenting thoughts, but you also forge the way for your children to learn that all forms of psychological fear may feel real, but their "why" is always some kind of lie.
