FAMILYCOUNSELINGCENTER Ha rv es t fo r He al th a b ig s uc ce ss At the very first ses- sion I had with my thera- pist oh so many years ago, the open- ing question out of my mouth was, "How long will this take?" Being ever the smart aleck, he replied, "About 50 min- utes." "No," I responded. "How long will it take until I am fixed; you know, healed; normal?" I am not alone when it comes to asking that ques- tion. One of the first items we want checked off our "to do list of change" is a date specific that we can mark on our calendar alerting us to the face that — voila — goal achieved! Like a prisoner sentenced to hard labor, we want to know how long until we are free. From a logical point of view, the process of get- ting from "here" to "there" is actually pretty exhila- rating. We find out about ourselves. We discover what we're capable of do- ing. Others compliment and admire us. Life is new; every sunrise pro- vides the option for mul- tiple new adventures, un- wrapping more of whom we really are. It would seem that with so much to gain, we would rather lin- ger luxuriously in the pro- gression instead of charge hell-bent for leather to the other side. So, what's with the big rush? I'm not naïve, I am more than aware that it takes work and is, at times, prickly; yet most of our goal-driven soci- ety touts reflexively, "any- thing worth having is worth working for." If I want a good marriage, I will work for it. Raising healthy, happy children is certainly an effort at times. Advancing my ca- reer and maintaining my house require expending resources. Certainly the best ME possible is a wor- thy objective, and there- fore stands to reason that it also is worth the el- bow grease necessary to achieve it. We might not always be keen on it, but we are not a people afraid of hard work. So that cannot be the rea- son why the sprint to the finish line. I believe we are in such a hurry to "get there" because we are ter- rified of waking up with the realization that we have "lost our motivation." Like the despondent lover, we plead, "Don't go; please stay. I'll be good. What will happen to me if you leave?" If we can ar- rive at the altar before be- ing jilted by our fickle par- amour, everything will be OK. Being a student of change (aren't we all?), I am enthralled by our choice of words. After all, words reflect our thoughts. Thoughts determine ac- tions. Watch what you say, it could become your life. Therefore, when we say, "I've lost my motivation," it presupposes that motiva- tion is some foreign entity residing in a distant land. Yet, we are the source of our motivation. We gin it up, and we turn it off. We control it; no one else does. Others can inspire us, co- erce us, or force us — but motivate? Not so much. (Ever try and "motivate" a lazy teen? Get my point?) The premier adjustment on the road to stable, long- term change, is to accept that the locus of control — where decisions are made — is internal, not external. Sure, "stuff" happens, and luck (or fate) can be play- ers. Yet, they are bit parts. I own my spotlight. Once I accept that, the only thing in my way is me.

"We are very sorry for any inconvenience, and hope that we will have the opportunity to bring Craig Morgan to the State The- atre in the future," Bullock said. STATE THEATRE Refunds available for canceled concert From a logical point of view, the process of getting from "here" to "there" is actually pretty exhilarating. Thanks to all who contributed, the center was able to raise more than $8,000 to support reduced cost mental health services. The funds help to provide counseling to children, families, couples and individuals in need.
