You know whom I'm talking about. Perhaps you have found yourself engaging in this person's favorite game, yes, but. The rules of the game are that you are supposed to point out a long list of examples that disprove your friend's doom and gloom outlook, and your friend is to contradict each of your points by saying, "Yes, but... " and counter your points with more worry or unhappiness or inadequacy or lack or bad luck stories.

1. Adventures in the Leaves

2. Think about it, how many times in your life has
there been something that you wanted to do.
Some strong desire to accomplish, something
that just consumed all of your thoughts,
something you dreamed about all the
time...what did you do to achieve that goal? If
the desire was strong enough, you found a way
to get it done.

3. If you look back through time at all of the great
achievements accomplished you will see that the
ones who made them happen, first dreamed of
the idea, then because of their strong desire to
see it happen, came up with a plan to make it
happen and put that plan into action. Sure they
met some resistance and even some failures
along the way. But it was the desire to reach the
goal that kept them trying until they succeeded.

4. Did Thomas Edison succeed on his first attempt
at the light bulb? Of course not, In fact he failed
more than 700 times before he got it right. But
he had that burning desire to see his dream
through to success that kept him going. He
could very well have given up after the first
hundred failures and wrote it off as impossible,
but thankfully he didn't.

5. One main precept that can help us stay calm is the idea that our
security does not exist outside of our own consciousness (indeed it
never has). This is a sort of advanced spiritual principle, but in fact
everyone knows it to be true. We all have, in our own personal circle
of acquaintances, someone who never stops worrying, or never stops
being unhappy, or never feels good enough, or never has enough
money or time, or never has enough education, or never gets any
lucky breaks.
