Every day I wake up and promise myself that I'm going to live each day to the fullest and not let my emotions or fears hold me back. I'm going to do that thing that I've been putting off, talk about that issue that has been eating away at me, but after bathing and having my breakfast, I lose my nerve. How do I take charge of my life? How do I stop letting fear get the best of me and just live my life? I keep postponing things and giving myself excuses for all the wrong things that go on in my life. How do I take charge of my life?

I`m 46 years old and try to follow a conscious, spiritual path since my youth. There are different ways and different traditions and I was able to find my way according to my heart. Nevertheless there is one question I couldn’t find a satisfying answer till now. Teachers say for real happiness you need to be without wishes to realize deepest fulfillment and enlightenment, other teachers say for real happiness learn to fulfill the wishes of your heart and to trust the richness of life. I feel wisdom in both opinions and feel attracted by both ways, but I cannot connect them…What is your opinion? Thank you!

I have recently moved to Australia from India, I am trying to get into the rhythm of things here but it seems like a very daunting task and I find no sense of belongingness here. I am married with two kids, we moved to have a better future for our kids and also because my husband was very keen to move. I want to give it a good shot but I am failing, I do want to pick up a job, teach yoga or study but I am really confused, it seems like life is not getting anywhere.

I have made decisions to leave my job, move to another state, build a home and my spouse is going to be with me.  We can’t turn back now but I feel fear and wonder if these decisions have been the right ones for us.  I’m not sure how to feel strong or safe or right.  I read your site and it states if it feels right do it and if not don’t.  What happens when it’s too late to ‘don’t?’
