I’m passing through a rough moment in my life but I don’t see it that way I am learning a lot but I think that I could do more about some things, I am Mexican and I can’t work because I don’t have papers. I have a daughter 5 months old and we are living in my wife’s parent’s house. For me everything is ok with the waiting of the papers to work and give my best. Sometimes I wish I would have a teacher to advise me and that’s why I am asking you this.
In my wife’s family everybody seems to be unhappy and I know that everybody is a reflection of your own path. It’s to show you something about you and I know that I have some characteristics of those people, but Im happy and in a good spiritual moment. I feel strong in all aspects f my life.
But I have a doubt, my father-in-law is an alcoholic and is one of the most unhappy persons I have met in my life, and I don’t know if I should do something to help him realize what is he doing to himself and the people around him. Whether I should talk to him about spirituality and God, or just let him be and he would realize it in the end?. I know that somebody that is on the spiritual path should be like a tree in summer time that gives shade and protection to everybody that is near him

For the moment I´m totally lost and confused and it causes me daily feelings of stress, anxiety, headache and stomach pain.

I am in a situation regarding job and place of living that I have to change and now an opportunity for that might have come. But the problem is that I don´t know if the timing is right or not, I have
longed for this opportunity to come, but now I am extremely scared. The problem I have is that I don´t know if I have these tough feelings because the timing is not right (if I have to prepare more, or if that is
not the right place to live),if I am just scared of change and uncertainty regarding money (I have to give up a good salary for not knowing if I will have any money), or if I´m afraid to know what I really feel since my opinion might be in conflict with others.

Stress, feelings and thoughts are whirling around so much in my body that I can´t even feel or think clearly. I have a healthy, regular lifestyle and also meditate twice a day. Right now I feel this is what makes me keep my head above the water line, otherwise I think I would freak out. But even if my meditation practice works well and I find peace, I don´t find the answers of what is right to do and how to handle my feelings and fears, and how to sort out what is what, what is fear and what is my honest will. Do you have any suggestions on how to do that, how to go on?
I would appreciate any answer a lot.

You always talk about peace. So want to ask you this question that has left me restless, sleepless and devoid of peace.
I am a researcher who joined this lab of a very senior scientist where I found lots of wrong things happening. When I pointed out these to the senior scientist she turned against me and did ever possible thing to isolate me and mentally torture me in the lab. Finally I decided to leave the lab. However my friends advise me to complain against her before I leave. I want to leave in peace but still want things to change in the lab for other people who are there and people who will join in future because what’s happening right now is unethical, immoral and cruel. If I make a complaint against her, isn’t it a violent action on my part? But if I don’t its awfully wrong too making me a party to the non compliance.
