Fear Strikes Again

I did it again today.  I let fear dictate my thoughts and actions and I wound up selfish, self-protective, and self-consumed.  Why do I continue to think that if everything in my outer world is just like I want it that this will somehow make everything alright inside me?  Why do I try to control the outer elements of my world as if all this just-so-ness will make my world safer and manageable?

Fear makes me want control.  In obvious scenarios, but also - very sneakily - in senseless little scenarios.  Control means self-centeredness.  And trust me, it's not pleasant to be around.

Just keepin' it real with you, folks.
