Could someone please pinch me?

Is this really contest prep? There is something missing for sure. I don't have that overwhelming sense of panic and indecision that normally permeates my thoughts.

I am actually calm.

It's so nice to trust someone to guide you in the right direction. Literally, my life is cake so far. All I have to do is exactly what I am told to do.

It's a no brainer.

At one point I enjoyed doing my own thinking, but now I have outgrown that, "I can do it myself," mindset. I can do it myself, but guess what? I prefer not to. I need my brain for other things.

Where fear controls, noteworthy achievement becomes an impossibility. You are condemning yourself on toward the heights of great achievement, soley by the thoughts you think.  If you demand success of yourself, and also back up this demand with intelligent action, you ae sure to win.

Well. you see I got myself into a little predicament. I have this set of standards that I like to live by. The standards I have for myself are high; this is good. However, and there is always a however.. I haven’t been living up to my own standards. I have been living with my foot in two separate worlds. I have been dabbling ...
