Stop Worrying and Start Living.

Bought the book thinking it might help. Read the first 20 pages and decided to put it down for good. How did it become an international bestseller I don't know.

Only one piece of advice really helped and it came from my counselor in the summer of '05. I was telling her about how frightened I was about my future and her reply to me was: What's the worst that could happen?

Every time I gave her another reply of an excuse to be more worried again she replied to me: What's the worst that could happen? And just like that, the worst did not seem as frightening. As long as I've got my health, my sanity, and a loving family, I should fear no one. And now, I look around me and think to myself: the worst part is long gone and I have only a brighter future to look forward to by God's Grace.

Another piece of advice that has helped me in the past was during a rough time when I was trying to get over a broken heart. Aigrem, bless her, saw the state I was in and told me: Don't you love yourself? Don't you have any respect for yourself? If you truly loved yourself, then quit hurting yourself. Again, just like that, getting over that issue got much easier.

A few words, that hit me in the right spot taught me a lesson and changed my life to the better. A few words did more to improve my life than a bestseller book.
