Most useful bit of advice picked up long while ago without reallizing it – at primary school. Taken me a while to reallize. We were having a reading test and i was completly absorbed in what i was reading that forgot it was a test – think it may have been H.G.Wells – War of the Worlds.
It was about an alien chasing a human being – and the human ran and ran and ran – days and weeks until he couldnt run anymore and then the alien caught him.
This was the end – so the human thought as the alien picked him up- but instead the alien put him down and turned and moved away. It was over.
What had happened was that while the human was running – he had lost weight and fell below the weight the alien was programmed to collect.
How i see it now is – if we spent less time running away, instead live our life, face our fears, try to be healthy and happy – the demons we are running away from – wouldnt be interested in us anyway. Because thats the secret – by facing up, doing what we need to – but being ourselves – things just work.
