Hard Knocks

I believe the one of the most dangerous things a person can become is complacent. It is possible to feel too safe, too sure, too secure. When that happens, the Universe invariably gives you a good swift kick. And, believe me, it hurts. A lot. What's worse is that those feelings of safety, sureness and security are like a rain puddle....shallow and easily evaporated. They're just gone and you are once again shivering in the cold of the world, naked and afraid. Getting that sense of safety back is a long, slow road. But, really, the question is: can you ever really get back there at all?
