If it's never worked in the past, I bet it'll never work in the future. I believe that the individual solutions are different for each one of us, but I also believe that the principles leading to and through the solutions are axioms for us all and are as clear and acceptable as rain, gravity, food and sleep. I see many missing the simple things that work because the simple things that work are too obvious. Nothing feels like control quite like power. Power is a reality while control is an illusion.
Power can be a drug.
I went places I didn't want to go, to see people I didn't know, to buy things I didn't need, with money I didn't have, to impress people I didn't like. I had problems with jobs, relationships, money, people, places, and things. I was always in a hurry. I always felt that I was on stage. I always had a feeling of impending doom.
