Self-Discovery

• See that leaf. It winds its way to wherever the
  stream is taking it, she observed.
• Look, Im not a leaf. He meant to sound forceful.
  Im a manger. My job is to control things, not be
  controlled.
• She moved closer looked directly at him. Her
  eyes felt penetrating. Are you succeeding?
• Maybe not. Not anymore.
• Control is an illusion. Its seductive because it
  gives a feeling of power. Something to hold on
  to. So it becomes addictive. Its hard to give up
  even when its not working. You cant start a
  journey until you let go of habits holding you
  back!
