Excellent!
You've brought a perspective that I've not seen before to a topic I frequently write about, namely, an internal vs. external locus of control (the later often being referred to as a "victim mentality").
Of course, all humans have to deal with an "external" world of circumstances that are beyond our control, but the person who is willing to take ownership of their own responses to external stimuli are in a much better position to lead a happy life of progress, than the person who laments that life "happens to them".
Thanks for being an awesome voice.
Side note: I'm hosting Robert for the Real Sons and Daughters of Anarchy on oct 9th, so I'm looking forward to finally getting to chat with you in person. Cheers!
