Is your life as fulfilling as you envisioned it would be? Or do you feel the tug of discontent...the yawn of stagnation...the sense that joy is being sapped away by looming difficulties and everyday stresses. Perhaps life even seems to be unfolding beyond your control. You're not alone if you do. Chance, chaos, and adversity are constant forces in everyone's life.
