When you are working for yourself – and in truth that is what we all are doing, the thin veneer of corporate life may make that seem less obvious, but as soon as a couple of bad quarters come along, that veneer is peeled away – that uneasiness is life making you aware of how much depends on you succeeding. If you got a family to feed, mortgage to pay, that is reality – something we try too hard to shield ourselves from. The zest of life comes when we face this unease head on with a solid plan, and then work that plan. But worrying about the things outside of our control is wasting our energy. Once we have done what we can that unease will turn into focused energy – in a word, real power.

Well this is another stellar blog post. You are absolutely right, now that I think of it – most people try to change the big things outside of their box – things that they have no control over. It is like standing in from of a tidal wave – you will just get washed away.

It is interesting that you state that setting goals will make you face you insecurities and things like that. I know that when I sit down to write my monthly goals, I often get and anxious feeling in my stomach. Well I guess when I feel that, then I am likely working an a really important goal.
