| I think I have experienced that entire list-some things simultaneously.  It took someone else to take me outside myself and see those things for what they were-roadblocks.  I still find myself  sometimes regressing, but the essence or almost all of those is putting oneself in the center of their own little universe-something I strive to no longer do.  One can take responsibility-it is not always prudent to take blame.  It's been only 3 years of unlearning those things that took a lifetime to be comfortable with-it's a hard journey, but a rewarding one. |
