Anything that causes you to overreact or underreact can control you, and often does.

If you don't fall off the wagon regularly, you're not playing a big enough game.

It is a tricky business to know when you should set goals and objectives in order to achieve a focus, and when you would be better off dealing with the acceptance and management of your current reality so you can later step into new directions and responsibilities with greater stability and clarity. Only you will know the answer to that, and only in the moment.

Things rarely get stuck because of lack of time. They get stuck because the doing of them has not been defined.

The problem is, is when your focus is created by a crisis, then the frontal lobe shuts down essentially, the frontal cortex which is your intuitive intelligence. So you get very clever and very stupid in a crisis. Also, you pump adrenalin into your body from what you - physiologically you'll crash.

Most of the stress people experience comes from inappropriately managed commitments they make or accept.

The great secret about goals and visions is not the future they describe but the change in the present they engender.
