                 "It's just a fantasy that satisfies our compulsive need for a single magic pill for the happily ever after. But that kind of thinking is also the source of enormous frustration if you deny yourself everything else you've got going for you in life" (53) (as cited in Porras).

                This entire concept of a one quick fix, I find to be completely misleading and I worry about those who believe it. There is nothing in this world that really matters the does not involve several steps; from the creation of a red blood cell, to the treatment on a disorder, to repair of a car, to the writing of this blog. You cannot hope to achieve an ultimate goal that is meaningful with out preforming numerous tasks (yes some steps will be extremely difficult). A person cannot take a pill or have an operation and expect to feel completely better, rather the pill/operation is only one step. the individual may find necessary in order to regain and maintain their health. These steps can include: changing a diet, participating in therapy, altering a lifestyle and countless other assertive actions.
