That's true, but to accept that you can't do more than you can do, with all the energy and good will in the world.
some things are just out of your control, and if those make you fall apart, thinking there is always something you could do, well, it won't lead you to a better place on the bottom line.
"when i had to" get money - i was involved in crime. not blackhat traffic, i stab and got stabbed. that's when i was "driven"
Now i am more relaxed, and try to achieve my goals, i understand things take time, and that karma is a bitch if you've done wrong before.
