Day 27

          Still feeling under the weather, I opted for laying on my couch watching Bones instead of studying. I, however, was able to justify this by listening to the bones they were talking about and testing my knowledge on that bone's location. I actually did learn a little bit. Being under the weather is a frustrating thing, but I seem to be surviving it on my own. There is an inner strength we all must learn about. Each and every one of us was given inner strength, it's just a matter of being stubborn enough to use it. And while I fight for control of my inner strength, despite a certain spoiled princess who lives inside my mind (figuratively of course). So, this little princesses thinks she deserves the best without having to work for it. She is what Freud referred to as the "id." I do deserve the best, BUT I have to work for it. How does one take control of his or her prince or princess? Take care of them as you would a child. Leave time for yourself to play, but only after chores or homework is done. It's not a matter of suppressing some evil, it's a matter of learning to balance childish enthusiasm with everyday responsibility. If you can manage that, life will be much easier.

Lesson:

Treat you inner prince or princess as you would your own child.
