The reality, even if you believe that all of these things happen on occasion, which I do, is that they are not likely to happen to me ... or you. Life - and God, I believe - helps those who "help themselves." Self-responsibility is a beautiful concept, if one of the most difficult to implement. Thanks for the post!!

It is a real compliment to a blogger to hear someone say they can identify with a post on a personal level. Good to hear Anthony, this one is one of my favorite articles.

You've really opened my eyes in more than one way and each article I read keeps me feeling more and more hopeful. I'm too young to be this depressed, this unhappy, and you're helping me.

It was a bit ironic that the next post I read was on <a> by another blogger I follow ;) On the other hand, the same writer in a piece about <a href="http://www.joyfuldays.com/just-keep-showing-up/" title="writers block" rel="nofollow"> summarised a message by Elizabeth Gilbert by saying: "Essentially her message is that as a writer, you cannot accept full responsibility for the success or failure of your work. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed in a muse or genius that sometimes chose to visit a dancer or writer. When that happened, the work was an inspired success. If not, the worker just had to keep on working without blaming himself or feeling inadequate." You can see the full message from Elizabeth in the post. Keep it up. Amazing post.
