• If you can't change everything all at once, then at least work on changing something each day. Become aggressive in your battle with the ego. You probably don't need all the things that it wants.

But you will rarely see the whole journey or all the answers at once.

It's so easy to get locked into a syndrome where the perpetrator is ruling your life.
