“Is he not a victim of the delusion that he can wrest satisfaction and happiness out of this world if he only manages well?” Page 61 — Yes, I sure was. It’s so FUN to try and run the world in my head, to set expectations of all the people I know, to not tell them those expectations, and then to be resentful when they miss the mark. Why do we engage in such foolish mental hijinks? Self-reliance, the antithesis of God-reliance. And denial, focusing on the world and others makes it far easier for us to ignore our own issues. Slowly, as we intentionally recover, we get clear of these patterns and break free. Slowly.

Help one; save two. Happy Tuesday!
