Listen, I have some advice, and it works because it is actually the truth, but it requires you to be accepting of a way of seeing your life as it is, and not how you have been seeing it all of your life up to now. It's a process, but if you dedicate yourself to this paradigm, it will free you.

Every time you despair about your situation, remember you are here now. You are alive now. You are not in surgery. You are not receiving the bad news you fear. You are living a life with great challenges, but you are as comfortable as you can be and not in critical danger.

You see, most fear and anxiety is about the future. What might happen, what will happen, what I think may happen. You have to let that go and realize that you don't live in the future. You're not there right now. Right now you can only deal with what is in front of you. Right now you have the problems of right now to face. If other problems come, you can face them then. Right now you have other problems to worry about, the ones right here, where you are, whatever you are doing, right now.

Be in the present. Be here now.
