So when you're lying in bed awake and worried -- STOP. I know this is easier said than done. But the way to solve this problem is to bring yourself back to the present moment. This gives your brain something to focus on -- other than your fear.

If you have known one or more of these characters, we have only one piece of advice to give you: Take control of your FEAR. Identify what it is that prevents you from slamming the door on these pretenders, and start to confront it. Don't fall for the same tricks or settle for mediocre treats.

The message is simple: Find happiness in this very moment with all that you have. Be curious and in search of what you love. When you find it, be selfless and add value by solving a problem. Put all of your energy and heart into your work. Own your passion.
