      Get Over It - Bev Aisbett

      INTRODUCTION

      Yes, I hear you. You’ve been hurt badly. Things have been tough from the very start. Life just seemed to throw it at you…challenge after challenge, so many you hardly recovered from one before there was another!

      God knows, I’ve had more than my fair share too. (It’s all part of my research!)

      And, just like you, I have at times lamented my lot, raged at the unfairness of things and blamed all and sundry (including God!) for placing me in painful situations.

      That is, until I knew better.

      If you feel that life has been unfair to you, through no fault of your own, this book will challenge you.

      I make no apologies for that.

      My aim is to empower you to free yourself from the prison of the past.

      Of course, you will need to be WILLING to do that.

      If you are, take a deep breath, be brave, be honest…and be free.

      DO NOT PASS GO

      Go on, tell me your story.

      image 1image 2

      WOAH! STOP THERE, GUYS!

      I have a QUESTION for you…

      Didn’t anything GOOD happen?

      Have you noticed that if you ask most people their history they will usually come up with their Miseryography? A life story filled with SADNESS, HURT, ANGER and REGRET: this will tend to override even the BEST of times in their memory.

      Get two people discussing their past and invariably they will get into a strange form of ‘oneupmanship’, where they actually COMPETE for who has had the greatest suffering!

      image 4

      The saying ‘misery loves company’ could not be more true.

      Our society THRIVES on it…

      image 5

      …and the Press would be downright LOST without it!

      image 6

      However, holding onto the trials of the past means waking up every day in a PRISON…

      image 7

      …and for many people, it’s this kind of GROUNDHOG DAY every day!

      image 8

      In fact, some prisoners of the past go so far as to SACRIFICE the things that they once LOVED doing because these things remind them of a time LONG GONE…

      image 9

      …and, even worse, there are those who
