Hadley's Story
Throughout my life I had been consumed
by worry. Some worries I had taken on from my parents, most I had
developed on my own due to fears, lack of self-confidence, and the
ongoing problems that had consumed me.
Our society and media are built around
the promotion of fear and worry. The media and the government capitalize
on negativism. We are constantly barraged with bad news, suffering
and grief. I worried about bills, work, money, relationships and
just about everything else.
The dozens of self-help books I had
read were not much help. They were all about positive attitude and
I had little left. I had fallen DEEPLY into the trap. Then in 1997
things went from bad to worse.
I became extremely ill in the fall
of that year with what I thought was the flu. The flu turned out
to be Hepatitis B. I had literally worried myself sick. I was deathbed
sick for about 5 months.
Some friends even moved in with me
to take care of my house, shop and help with my recovery. I took
thousands of dollars worth of vitamins, home remedies, herbal cleanses
and just about anything else I could find that might help. The medical
treatment for Hep B is Interferon. I was not willing to go this
route for the results did not look promising.
I finally got better, but I was not
well. I felt all right for the next few years not healthy, just
all right. My life was slowly slipping away and I began to get bitter.
I was finally fed up and I one day in February, I yelled at GOD,
SHOW ME WHY I AM HERE OR TAKE ME. Then, I met JOY!
She began to introduce me to her de-worrying
process in the spring of 2002 and rapidly I began to make progress.
My color began to return. (My family and friends had turned a blind
eye to how jaundiced I appeared) Within a couple of months, I was
healthier than I had been since my teen years. I still had worries,
however, they no longer dominated my life. I began to eat properly
and my health improved daily. I had never realized what it was like
to be healthy, WOW.
I have practiced the principles outlined
in this book religiously ever since. I can honestly say that I have
never been healthier, happier or more productive. My business is
flourishing. I now look at least 10 years younger than most of my
peers and I get younger by the day.
Sure, I still have the occasional challenge.
Life is full of them. The beautiful thing is I now know that I choose
how I will feel about those obstacles and I can deal with them accordingly.
I will always thank JOY! for teaching me how to approach my life
from a position of strength. ENJOY! this book and live your life
to the fullest. I DO!
