Dear Selfless Esteem, I'm a pilot so like some other pilots, I "suffer in silence" regarding mental health because I'm afraid that I'll lose my medical, which is why I'm writing anonymously. My question is that I have a checkride coming up and I get so nervous sometimes that I feel like my brain is offline—How to stop the jitters? I don't want to admit to my peers or CFI that I'm as nervous as I really am. Signed, Petrified Pilot Tune in for the answer.

Dear Selfless Esteem, I'm in my 60s with a wonderful wife, a fulfilling career, and more than enough to live comfortably. Yet when I learn someone else has more money or greater success, I feel envious. I recently learned that a colleague earns 3 times my salary! I know comparison steals joy, but I can't seem to stop. How do I become genuinely content and happy for others instead of looking over the fence? Signed, Always Looking Over the Fence Tune in for the answer.

Dear Selfless Esteem, I've been getting noticed as a baseball player by coaches and scouts, which is what I've always wanted. But it's also a bad thing because lately I've been playing terrible and of course I don't want them to see that. It's like I forgot how to hit a ball even though I've been playing since I was in Little League so I know it's all in my head. What can I do?

Dear Selfless Esteem, I will be graduating from high school this year. My parents expect me to start college right away, but I am having doubts about that.

Dear Selfless Esteem, Lately I've been disgruntled seeing therapists put on pedestals when they've given unwise guidance. I believe the Bible is the Ultimate Truth & authority over any degree. I have gone to Christian therapists, who have guided me against what the Bible says. I have friends who think the degree gives therapists the ultimate source of wisdom with life and relationships. I see them as humans who come with their own life experiences and perspectives as well. How does one decipher wise counsel? Signed, Therapist Trouble Tune in for the answer.
