What he said about assuming life is easy and it's just me that has it hard really hit. I'm going to have to read it. However, isn't the assumption that life is difficult in contradiction with the belief that the universe is friendly? I have to say I've been assuming all along that the universe was friendly and the reason I don't have what I want is because I either don't truly believe it or I'm doing something wrong in placating it. Granted all of my life I have gotten what I "wanted". It's just that in the end, I'm not so sure that it really was best. Not talking the latest jeans or the iPod. I mean I wanted to go to college and I went despite incredible odds. I wanted to get married and I did although now I'm questioning it. I wanted a high powered career and I got that, but then it turned out to be very emotionally taxing. In all these instances I felt that the universe absolutely supported my desires. Maybe the thing is to ask for the right desires. Okay, I've sufficiently hijacked your post. I'll go back to my blog now. I’m going to have to read that road less travelled.

I absolutely agree with his four points of discipline, and believe the capacity to assume that level of discipline is the hallmark of the mature, capable self.
