  "Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite  All fired up (now I believe there comes a time) All fired up (where everything just falls in line) - All Fired Up, Pat Benatar *** It probably sounds a little demotivating to finish a chapter stating that what you desire and what you  fear  are on the other side of what you are trying to achieve. That's the interesting part about evolution.    We are traveling outside our comfort zone to a place that our ego is not a huge fan of, and we are hard wired to default  as much of our daily existence as possible  to automatic programming.  Change and evolution mean a disruption to this auto-button functionality, which leads to all kinds of discomfort to our everyday thoughts and routines.

How about the fact that I know Lois Lane is DC comics, and not Marvel? Oh my God.... what has happened to me? For someone without a television, I have watched 38 movies since Easter. Okay, that's not the total truth. I'm actually  not even sure  how many movies I have watched, but I'm certain iTunes knows.
