Therefore, I felt compelled to comment and to tell you that I think the church of Scientology has had more effect on your beliefs than you may think. Like many today, you have bought into a half-truth (which is essentially a lie). While it is true that our choices do affect our lives and that we do need to train our minds and discipline ourselves, it is absolutely false that "you are the creator of whatever happens to you". There are many things in life that happen to us that we cannot control, and sometimes we cannot even control ourselves-just one individual. I am sure that, even though you have this knowledge about controlling your mind and your choices, your life is still not perfect or you still do not have perfect peace, do you? Nobody's life is perfect because none of us is perfect nor are our minds. We do not have all knowledge, and we do not always make the right choice. We are not capable of doing so by ourselves. We need help from others and, most of all, from the One Who has all knowledge, Who created the entire Universe, and Who IS in control - from God. You are correct that we have choices. God has choices, and he chose to create us and to give us the power to choose. We are created in God's image-which is why we have choices and are not God's robots, but, if we want true success and true peace in life, the first choice that we must make is to choose to acknowledge that God is ultimately in control and that we are not. This is the hardest choice of all for a human being because we want to be in control. We are afraid not to be in control because we have trust issues as a result of our imperfect relationships with imperfect people. Yet we can have a relationship with the only One Who IS perfect and Who can help us and our lives to be perfect, but some of us CHOOSE not to do so. Why?-because do not want to admit that we are not in control and to trust our Creator Who is. That is too scary, yet ironically, it is actually the ONLY CHOICE that leads to perfect peace and to the greatest esteem and belief in ourselves that we can have. It means much more to me to know that the Creator of the Universe thinks that I am valuable than it does to know that only I or you think so. I am comforted much more to know that God is control and that God loves me and wants the best for me (see Jeremiah 29:11) and that, therefore, I can totally trust God (even if I can't totally trust people) than it does for me to think that I am in control or that you or any other imperfect, incomplete human being is in control because I know that neither you nor I have all knowledge, and we will not always know how to make the right choice UNLESS we are in tune with the One who does have all knowledge and wisdom, our Creator, God, Who will lead our minds and intellects AND our spirits in the right way. Personally, I believe that Jesus the Christ is the only perfect example of a human being, and Jesus was not focused only on himself, his own mind, and his own success, in fact, quite the opposite. He was focused on God and on others, and is focused on me and you, and on our peace of mind, body, and spirit-on our success - and not just on our temporal earthly success, but our eternal, heavenly success-not just peace while we live on Earth, but peace now and forever, eternally, and deep, deep, deep down within ourselves. Isn't that what we're all REALLY seeking-in all of our lives-our jobs, our families, and in every relationship that we have? That is what life is all about anyway-relationships, and in order to be a success at anything, we need to get first things first. We need to get our first and foundational relationship with God right and then all other relationships and the rest of our lives will fall into place-mentally, physically, emotionally, and spirtitually. We will be at peace and content in ANY circumstance. We will be truly successful. A good example of this and a good final summary for my comments is the story of the couple who inspired the song "His Eye Is On The Sparrow". I took the following information from Wikipedia. It was pointed out to me in a devotional that I read this morning right before I read your article (By the way, I believe it was God's doing, not just an amazing coincidence, that I received both of these emails within minutes of each other first thing this morning.) (From Wikipedia re: the song "His Eye Is on the Sparrow") The theme of the song is inspired by the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible, as referenced by Mrs. Doolittle in Elmira, New York: "Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:26) and "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:29-31). Civilla Martin, who wrote the lyrics, said this about her inspiration to write the song based in the scriptures outlined above, Early in the spring of 1905, my husband and I were sojourning in Elmira, New York. We contracted a deep friendship for a couple by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle—true saints of God. Mrs. Doolittle had been bedridden for nigh twenty years. Her husband was an incurable cripple who had to propel himself to and from his business in a wheel chair. Despite their afflictions, they lived happy Christian lives, bringing inspiration and comfort to all who knew them. One day while we were visiting with the Doolittles, my husband commented on their bright hopefulness and asked them for the secret of it. Mrs. Doolittle's reply was simple: "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me." The beauty of this simple expression of boundless faith gripped the hearts and fired the imagination of Dr. Martin and me. The hymn "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" was the outcome of that experience. —Civilla Martin Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle understood what I am trying to tell you and anyone else who reads this. The whole truth is that, despite our circumstances, we can be successful because the Creator of the Universe, God, loves us and believes in us and has great plans for our lives. That truth has more power than anything else we can think or do to make us believe in ourselves (and in God) in a miraculous way, and knowing and experiencing the Power of this truth will make us a success regardless of our circumstances. Since you had trust issues with your parents and were an attorney, I can understand why you would choose to focus on your mind and intellect and on yourself, but I hope and pray for you and anyone reading this who hasn't already done so, that you will go beyond just your mind and intellect and limited knowledge and gain true wisdom (the right application of knowledge) from the One Who really controls your destiny and Who has all knowledge and Who has a great destiny planned for you because you are His special, unique child created in your True Father's image and He loves you. You are not limited by your imperfect earthly father or mother; you have unlimited power available to you from your Heavenly Father by which you can be a true success and have true peace. I encourage you to discipline yourself and train your mind with God's help using the Bible and Jesus as your guide. If you do, will find true peace and true success now and forever, no matter your circumstances. I pray that this will be the case for you and for everyone, in Jesus' Name and to God's glory. Amen.

Is it purely monetary or can improving society through raising a decent, harworking family along with boing business in an ethical manner be considered sucessful? It may not make one rich. The woman who chose bad boyfriends may have been learning life lessons to spring board her to the point of being in a position to really understand and genuinely help other people with similar weaknesses as herself. perhaps this has been the very point of your own journey as well.
