But are they, though?
My problems have appeared to be in the area of work, or sex, or 'adult child stuff' (don't even) or whatever. But they weren't. They were in the area of ...
... self.
Self was the problem. That's it.
If you've got self, it will squeeze out sometimes here, sometimes there. Treat the area where it's squeezing out, but not the fact of self, and it will simply find somewhere else to squeeze out.
So, the problem is self. The answer is God. Find that answer, and there's no problem to squeeze out.
