During this same period, I was challenged, immensely by the debilitating effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and being rendered permanently partially defective as the result of being involved in two car
accidents in six days ( neither of which was I at fault ). I recall an incredible sense of emptiness and a daunting feeling of being completely overwhelmed; especially when trying to figure out which pills went with what ills.

to actually cultivate the emotion of being " fed up! " During this awakening, I untrue the decision to reclaim complete responsibility for my life. And I did.
