You ever feel like a Porsche with a Dodge slant six engine? Reliable as hell, but not performing as best you could be? I think it was bad fuel, lol.

But the world needs that dude in the warehouse as much as it needs Deepak Chopra.

From what I have read on this forum and elsewhere over the last year or so,

Umm, did this start in earnest for you a year ago? Did for me. I wonder if something's afoot.

Currently, I am using a method of approaching any up-and-coming event (even if I feel some fear or anxiety about it) of welcoming it in a, what may seem, ridiculous, exaggerated fashion, ‘Yes, yes, this is wonderful. Thank you God/Higher Self for giving me this brilliant opportunity to advance spiritually. It’s just what I wanted. Thank you sooooooo much for this wonderful gift!’.

That's a good tactic I guess, although I wonder in a LOA sense if it's inviting bad things. Probably not. I've got a relatively high risk-taking factor in some ways - it's what makes me do 65 on a back road on the way to work with many deer in the area, LOL. Sometimes I'm saying to the world, "bring it on, motherf*cker!" But that's more out of anger and defiance. your way is better.

I am at last beginning to accept that whatever happens ‘externally’ is the exact prescription I need to take, in order to cure the inner problem.
Best wishes.

True dat. Some say it's a plan we laid out ourselves before we were born. Either way one can take a lesson from almost anyhting.

Thanks and good luck.
