I have been listening to reports of poverty and success for various groups. From what I have read the issue seems to be fairness and inequality issues. I guess the theory is that many are born into their fate and are stuck there. I don’t have the facts but do believe there may be some […]
In my last article I talked about selfishness and how it can affect “having it all:. This article is another look at what having it all may mean. Back to AA again, the primary goal of AA in addition to stopping drinking and drugging is to find serenity. I believe that is what we really […]
Seems this is a recurring theme, especially for women. But I think men “want it all” too. As I understand it the issue is that folks want a great career, great family and success in general. That seems like a good goal for everyone. The problem is in finding a way to get there. I […]
