If you keep looking out there (outside of yourself) to your circumstances and feverishly working to get out of them you’ll keep getting the same response. No power, no joy, no vitality. At best it’s a seesaw of success and disappointment, happiness and despair. Sometimes your circumstances just don’t change, sometimes they stagnate and crystalize. What if that thing you’re working toward, that thing you are sure will make you happier, better, or more confident doesn’t happen? What then? Even if it does arrive someday, what happens to your life between now and that day?
