Any true success must come through your own efforts, for no other success has any meaning at all. When you have achieved reachable goals then you will have the strength and freedom to follow through, and ability to achieve goals that are more difficult. There is a dangerous tendency here that should be mentioned, and it is this: you must not blame others when you do not achieve your goals.

For many reasons this is not best for you, nor is it what you really want. But in working toward a goal that is very distant, a goal that will be extremely difficult for you to achieve, you feel subconsciously that you will be excused from failure; if you fail you can then say that it was because so many obstacles were in your way.

You are very afraid of failure—hardly any crime—many are afraid of failure. But this causes you to avoid goals that you have a good possibility of achieving. If a goal is attainable and you fail to attain it, you see, then you feel you would have to blame yourself—and again, you do not want to accept the consequences of your own action.

I hope I have made this clear, for it is important that you understand me. In the general field, working with animals, however, you have admirable qualities that can be utilized if you use them toward a practical goal. Subconsciously you do not want to be a jockey.

You have chosen that goal because it does seem so difficult, and if you fail then you can blame circumstances rather than yourself.

Now. You need not be afraid of failure, and this is your main difficulty. You have strength and ability that you do not realize you possess, and it will withstand you. You do not have to be afraid of testing yourself against attainable goals. You do not have to look for windfalls.

Now you have been doing very well, and with attainable goals. Give us a moment, please. I believe there may be a change in the future for you, involving your area of employment. (Pause.) Perhaps within an eight-month period, though I am not certain here of the time element. There may be a Denver connection.
