Captain of the Ship

We live in this beautiful world where opportunity and abundance exists for all. Wouldn't it be great if you had everything that you need, with a loving wife or husband, happy, growing children, all provided for by a dream job that paid well and was the object of your passion? How nice it would be to have good health, with ample financial resources, with a great feeling about yourself. Seems like utopia, doesn't it? How close are you to this utopia? Strange, that we live with the possibility of a truly fulfilled life, yet only a small number are able to fully accomplish it. We experience bits and pieces of this utopia, but the greater success seems to escape us, and for some, there is only misery. Opportunities are plentiful but so are the pitfalls. What gets in your way?
