Arthur B., Seattle, Washington, USA

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Years ago, they thought they could conquer the world. They had plans. They had dreams.

This is the story of Ron and Linda. They had married young and had three children in rapid succession. They felt they would reach the heights. They were 23 and 21 respectively.

He was an engineer at a company that was exploding when he joined it. She was a word processor in a financial planning firm.
They bought a small house in a good neighborhood, with a mortgage they could easily afford on two salaries. And they were able to save as well.

Now, the dreams have faded. The joy and excitement have vanished. They are trapped in a self-defined comfort zone, reluctant to step out. Actually, afraid to step out, fearing rejection and failure.

Their children came fifteen months apart. Linda had not been able to go back to work after the first, because of complications from the delivery, and her health deteriorated further with the next two pregnancies. Part time at minimum wage was all she could manage.

Ron's company downsized. He was let go. He ended up with a contract job that paid much less.

Life has become a series of rituals -- waking, working, eating, television, sleeping. Day after day. No more joy. No more excitement. Plenty of worry. About anything and everything.

Debts piled up. Creditors came calling. The house went first. Then came the bankruptcy. No assets left.

They moved to a small apartment in a neighborhood where the schools were not as good and the streets were not as safe.

Two years ago, it reached a climax. They found themselves at the brink, with no place left to go and no bright spots on the horizon.

Their oldest son was approaching college age. Linda was developing a drinking problem. John was working two jobs.

No friends, no social life, no money for anything. Hand to mouth existence. Frustration and depression were frequent visitors.

Eventually, there comes a fork in the road of life. To the left, a slippery slope. To the right, challenges and problems, then rewards.

Ron and Linda were finally fed up. They were ready for change.

Disgusted with the manner in which they had unsuccessfully tackled projects and tried to solve problems.

With the money they were making and the absence of assets.

With the terrible way they were relating to each other, to their children, to their parents.

With what had happened to their looks, their weight, their health.

They yearned for a better social life and more friends.

They longed for a decent vacation.

They wanted their children to get a better education.

They needed another place to live and a nicer neighborhood.

They suffered sticker shock when they shopped. And became dismayed with how little they could actually afford.

And deeply disturbed with their mounting credit card balances and loans.

After my husband died, at such a young age, nothing seemed to matter. It had always been the two of us, doing things together. Suddenly, it was just the one of us.

Your system gave me back my life. From the inside out, I was able to do a total makeover.

I'm discovering talents I didn't know I had. I'm making new friends, taking on challenges, vounteering. I'm getting comfortable with other men, even dating.

Your 'Experience Indexing' techniques are easy to apply, once you're shown how. Thank you for helping me so much.

Before the first step can be taken, desire for change must become more powerful than staying put. It must be all-consuming.

One day, Ron came home from work and found Linda sprawled on the floor, an empty bottle of red wine near her outstretched hand, mumbling almost incoherently about the people who had come and forcibly taken the bed they had bought, because they were behind in their payments.

It was like a dagger through his heart. He got her into one of the kitchen chairs, made strong coffee, kissed her. "We still have two sleeping bags," he said, and the furnace is working."

She stared at him for a moment. Her voice was barely audible, "A fine state we've fallen into. Is there a way out?"

"There's always an alternative," Ron answered. "We need to talk. Make decisions. It can't continue like this."

When the student is ready, the solution will arrive. What happened, is a testimonial to the majesty of life.

Although there are many powerful self-help programs on the market, Ron and Linda chose the BARATT CORE LORE SYSTEM to help with their rehabilitation. That, plus their willigness to take specific steps made the difference.

The techniques were easy to absorb and deploy, and proven effective in thousands of other cases. They concentrated on setting small goals, and larger ones as they progressed.

Action is necessary. One cannot stare at opportunity proferred. Steps must be taken. Moments must be seized. Or all will be lost.

Today, Ron and Linda find it hard to believe how their situation has changed in just two years. But it wasn't osmosis. It was focus and determination born out of desparation.

They both have well-paying jobs that are exciting and challenging. Llnda's addiction has been licked. They were able to buy another house. Their savings and investments are growing.

They take vacations and they travel. Their children are getting ready for college. They have many friends and a hectic social life. They exercise and diet and their health has improved dramatically.
