Default Some do find this advice very hard to take...

For instance, after prayer, I "stumbled" on a
piece of information that cleared up a lot of
things and put me on the right track towards
my goals.

Prayer also saves you from the burden of
worry.

I've just re-read Dale Carnegie's classic
"How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" and I
can see how sensible it is to place your life
in the hands of a Higher Power.

Thank you for sharing this.
I agree with you 100%!

I have some friends, who are so overcome with anxiety or other worry-based issues, that it really holds them back...

I'd love to share the "prayer" advice... But they are almost-militant atheists. Any advice like this would be laughed off, and they would even be offended.

So I just keep it to myself, and think... I wish I could help you. But at this point, I probably can't...

Many very successful people know this advice. But this is why many don't share it in public. They know that most people are not "open" to it...

Best wishes,

Dien
