There's only two things that can happen...

One of the many lessons that my Teacher, Mentor, and friend Stuart Wilde taught me was that there are only "two things" that will ever happen in any situation, no matter what that situation is: It either will, or it won't. At first blush, this sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people hear that, and go "Oh! I get it now." Some people don't require an explanation, while others will ask "What the hell does that mean?"

Here then is the explanation of what it all means. The basic statement is based on observed behaviour. No matter what or who is involved in any given situation, they/ it/ him/ her/ whatever, either "will" or they "will not". She will either marry him, or not. They will either give you the job, or not. Now, on the emotional side of this, you have worry, and alot of fear. Thoughts like "Oh my God, I don't know! How will they react? What will they do??" This worry causes a great deal of stress that is unnecessary. Once you've gotten it into your psyche that only two things can happen, the stress and the worry can be removed, and you'll stay more grounded.

We spend an amazing amount of time in our lives "worrying", especially about these types of questions. One of the biggest games we humans play against ourselves is the "what if" game. People have literally driven themselves over the edge playing this one. It's the idea of not knowing that causes such pain and anxiety. The thing is, we do know. The time spent worrying can most definitely be put to better use, so by stopping yourself, getting grounded and really thinking about it and remembering that there are ony two things that can happen, you can now begin to release the need to worry about it, and we can now step away from the "fear" of not knowing and look at each situation and instead of freaking out, we can prepare for either outcome.

So, the next time you feel yourself getting into a panic because you don't know what's going to happen in a given situation, just remember; it either will, or it won't. ;-)

Be well,

Tolemac
