The process of living, for each of us, is pretty similar. For every gain there is a setback. For every success, a failure. For every moment of joy, a time of sadness. For every hope realized, one is dashed.

To create is to boggle the mind and alter the mood. Once the urge has surged it maintains its own momentum. We may go along for the ride but when we attempt to steer the course the momentum dies.

How I relate to my inner self influences my relationships with all others. My satisfaction with myself and my satisfaction with other people are directly proportional.
