I feel lonely. My children are no longer at home. How can I get a life? I feel like everyone is living except me. Answer: There is a part of you that fears not having a life and then there is a part of you that is vibrant and alive beyond what you can even imagine. The part of you that feels there is no hope is a false self or ego. The part of you that is writing writ-ing this question, know you better than you can know yourself and also knows that this false self is an illusion. The real self can talk to you and guide you; the false self has nothing to offer except to point out that this is time for you to deal with its falseness in a very awake and aware way. But first you have to see that your fears and needs have been going on for a long time, in cycles, over and over again, and here you are once again, except this time you have the choice to see the cuckoo's egg in your nest for what it is and to know: Your Fears Are Not You! Just like you wouldn't go to a grocery store to get a new hairdo, you can't fix what feels unfulfilled by thinking more and more about it, getting depressed, lonely and frightened. You have to go to the place inside of yourself where you are above the clouds and storms. One activity you can do is to go into the middle of your fear: Let it blow its hot air and fuss all it wants. Know this is not you. Then take action for your life and for your marriage. First, allow yourself to branch out and try new thing's, ideas and people. You have nothing to lose except your isolation. You would be amazed at how -n ach helpful information people can pass on to your just in talking about themselves and their lives; there will be wonderful keys of new understanding for you, but above all, you will have powerfully signaled to yon r false self it is - longer running . sh- .. You're taking not by fighting, but by ignoring the ego and knowing it as the empty noise it is. Second, allow yourself to do the same in your marriage. mar-riage. Give yourself permission permis-sion to try a different way. If your partner doesn't communicate, commu-nicate, ever so lightly touch his shoulder and briefly say, "Hi, how was your day?" Then back off, you don't need to linger. If there is an opening in the relationship, share something about your-'self. your-'self. Your husband hasn't abandon'-' m, otherwise he would ' already be gone. He's just given his power to his false self by thinking that he """v rn 1 ts zzrn SKI r.5 . luhm , '. I Dr. Lillian doesn't deserve joy and ease. Of course he does. We all do. So, the person who wants the change needs to start the change. Initiate activities, no matter how simple, that take you out of the stagnation by your choice. If he does not join you at first, don't worry; go ahead and play with new activities and people anyway. At some point he will come and play, too, in his own town. In truth, you can never be alone, unless you agree to make loneliness a reality by thinking it is real and doing nothing to change it. Dear Dr. Lillian: Question: I get really worried when I can't understand un-derstand what the teacher is talking about in this one class. It makes me want to give up on high school and college and myself. I just don't get this stuff. Other kids do. I can't even explain ex-plain to the teacher what I don't get because I don't know what it is. Of course, my grades are bad and I don't know how to explain that to my parents either. Answer: The reason you can rest assured that you will . be alright in the future with your education is because you really do want to succeed, suc-ceed, otherwise this would not be bothering you enough to take actin and ask a question. ques-tion. Maybe your feelings of frustration are good pointers of where you want to dream big. So, you can begin by asking yourself what it is about this educational subject that you respect, admire and would love to master.

So, the simple answer is it's time for you to tutor, study, form a study group with other kids, go on the internet and look up educational educa-tional sites on the subject, in short, to figure out precisely why you have put this subject in front of you in your life right now. Guaranteed, you have a big dream in there somewhere. some-where. Dare to dream big and go for it! Use what you do understand as a bridge to study what is still a mystery. When you sit in front of what you think is an unsolv-able unsolv-able problem or project, first remember where you started in your earlier grades and pat yourself on the back for how far you have come. Then, study by experimenting with the assignment in as many ways as you can think of. Get your teacher's phone number and develop a relationship rela-tionship of asking questions.
