Being spiritually in the right place

It is too easy to rely on the 'right things' in order to keep my life in balance. When I live by self-will, I cause myself to revert to old bad behaviors. I try to fill the emptiness with something, rather than my Higher Power, and suffer the consequences. This seems to be despite my best intellectual efforts to be self-reliant. Surrender is a very hard thing.

When I am spiritually in the right place, I rely upon something outside myself, and can draw on the strength that goes beyond my own.
