“I can’t believe that they fired me. Did they forget who I am? I was their best employee. They told me I was on track to be their number one producer. My sales were among the highest in the company. Sure, I took some chances. Real success always includes risk taking. What were they thinking?”
Of all the heartache I will ever know, only some of it will be real. The rest, I will create.

So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making. They arise out of ourselves, and the alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will run riot, though he usually doesn’t think so.
