Summary
Listen to episode 65 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Stop Worrying (Start Living Anxiety Free). Edited and adapted from: Your Right to Be Happy by Frank & Marion Van Eps.
Self-Help Podcast Excerpt: You might be ready to embark on a new enterprise, but your imagination conjures up all sorts of obstacles and difficulties, and you are afraid to begin, lest you fail. But this is, actually, just where the turn of success is made. Daniel Webster, when he first started in his career as a lawyer, felt as if he were utterly incompetent and could never succeed. But he persevered and did not run away or give up, and he eventually became one of the most famous American statesmen of the 19th century. Had he yielded to that feeling of fear, he would never have amounted to anything; but having overcome that, all things were set in his favor.
On the eve of any great achievement, it is not unusual to feel the most like a failure or that your goals are unreachable. It is this point of apparent collapse that is so important in everyone’s career. Just when failure and disaster seem unavoidable is the time to push right on through and disregard appearances. More will power and determination put forth at that time will turn the tide, and glorious results are certain.

| 0:40.3 | About Nothing be anxious. |
| 0:45.3 | These words from the Apostle Paul are not in opposition to earnest and determined effort toward a lofty goal. Rather, they put us |
| 0:57.7 | in the best frame of mind for effective action, that state which is most conducive to successful |
| 1:05.3 | endeavors. About nothing be anxious is a statement that is opposed to faint-heartedness, |
| 1:13.6 | whether it arises from the consciousness of our own limitations, |
| 1:18.6 | from a distrust of ourselves, |
| 1:21.6 | or from a want of trust in the divine. |
| 1:24.6 | It is fear that leads to anxiety, |
| 1:28.3 | anxiety to faint-heartedness and faint-heartedness to failure. |
| 1:35.3 | No anxiety should be allowed to disturb your joy. |
| 1:39.3 | Consciousness of our divinity does not permit anxiety. Cultivate confidence in your higher self and your cooperation with the greater good. |
| 1:51.0 | This is true self-reliance, because it is not based on one's self as apart from the infinite, |

| 2:07.2 | The nature of anxiety is well known. |
| 2:10.8 | The origin of the word is suggestive, its root meaning to choke. |
| 2:17.1 | Anxiety is a tight mental state, where one is choked up in mind, |
