Do you really believe that you are the master of your own fate?

Wow. What a great post. Thank you! I have always felt (and been repeatedly told) that I had really bad luck. I believed… oh, how I believed. For many years. Hmmm… can we say “self-fulfilling prophecy”?

Your words are wise and simple and somewhere along the lines of “Why-the-Hell Didn’t-I-Have-the Good-Sense-to-Figure-Out-What-You-Just-Said-Years-Ago?”

Jeez… I’ve been shelling out $100 an hour twice a month for psychotherapy for more years than I’d care to admit, then you go and make beautiful, perfect sense. I’m serious, Dude. I can’t believe that nobody ever told me what you just said. Or maybe I just never listened.

Guess I finally got lucky! :slight_smile:

Holy Cow. I don’t think anyone has ever said something as nice to me before on a message board. Thanks.

With the amount of time I spend on here, it sure is great to know that it might have had a positive effect on someone. You made my day!
