So there you have them, five hard truths that will set you free. Think about them. Memorize them. Pull them out when life comes at you fast and hard with its agenda of control, self-importance, and empty promises of perfect comfort here on earth. A simple, sober, humble, and focused life brings great serenity.
The article is good and there is some truth here. But why does it remind me of multiple books and speakers on self actualizing, self improvement, positive thinking?

I am responsible for everything that happens in my life.
Umm not even close. You are responsible for what you do, not what happens to you.

A pretty good slave owner considering my master shed his own blood and gave his life so that I may not live in condemnation.
To: PeterPrinciple
Why the assumption that slavery is bad? We are done.

Let me be more clear, I am responsible for my “reaction” to what happens to me. We all are.
