No one can exhaust a man like he can exhaust himself.
External forces may tire or shift to someone else.
But the force within won't stop until it crushes him.
What does this usually look like?
Chasing adventures that snowball in risk.
Feeling emptiness and meaninglessness amid successful deals.
Being obsessed with working non-stop despite a collapsing body.
Sacrificing oneself for anyone, anywhere.
Staying stuck for years when opportunities are all around.
Constant anxiety and frequent checking for disasters.
Forming partnerships that end in egal battles and disputes.
Starting great projects that never get done due to lack of time.
It's hard not to admire the power that stubbornly achieves its goal.
The problem is obvious. It's the point where the force is applied.
Imagine an Arabian horse trampling its rider in rage or dragging him through thorny bushes. The animal is innocent. The rider must decide if he's a victim or the master.
Moreover, they are not separate. The rider is the horse. Essentially, a Centaur.
Yet the rider believes, "A hostile force is trying to kill me." Denying this force within, he finds its manifestations in the outside world. Defeating such an enemy is like beating a shadow.
Sadly, nothing will help until the pointless struggle bores him.
The good news is this power is available immediately when:
He turns his gaze inward.
He gratefully accepts his unique "design."
He learns to redirect his power towards a worthy goal.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
