3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I don't think this character has ever had more control than now. Not that I am in control as an ego or that I am invincible, but never has the hindrance to the pursuit of my intentions been so low. I am very aware that what it took to get here it takes to stay here. Strong mindfulness to keep my attention from dark places and regular meditation are essential to maintain wellbeing.
I've always known where my focus needs to be - to keep my attention on my intention, but in order to do that, you need to be unencumbered by distractions. I am at last in that position. The destiny of this character is in its own hands.
