One of those phrases that probably got my back up at one time.

Self can not get me out of self.

I had to accept that doing things the way I wanted wasn't working. I had to be open minded to the possibility that what I thought was best for me just might not be so. I had to give myself completely to this simple program, setting aside my opinion of certain long-held beliefs.

I had to become willing to do what I didn't believe would work. And do it anyway.

Why would I be willing to do that? Because I saw that it really worked in others and I was convinced of the hopelessness and futility of life as I'd been living it.
