On a plane trip recently, I encountered what most people would relate to as setbacks. Things that got in the way of what I had planned and not gone according to my rules. Yes, there is a part of me that has a control tendency. That is another day’s topic. Back to setbacks – I’m not going to bore you with the details but lets just say the travel plan and the actual travel were a bit different. At first, I was generally ok, being a seasoned traveler, things like this happen. They are…
Our world is obsessed with results. Results of various kinds from financial to educational to any number of things that individuals deem important. What is odd is that so many people are still unfulfilled. They seek the pot of gold at the end of some undefined rainbow only to find the pot empty or not what they expected.

Might this shift be the attempt to reduce individual and group accountability? This disguise of being free without recourse to behaviors?
