From Steven Pressfield's Turning Pro:
"In the post-epiphanal moment, we have two things going for us that we didn't have ninety seconds earlier: we have reality and we have humility. These are powerful allies.
And we have a third force working in our favor: shame. Why is shame good? Because shame can produce the final element we need to change our lives: will.
Epiphanies hurt. There's no glory to them. They only make good stories at AA meetings or late at night among other foot soldiers in the trenches.
These soldiers know. Each has his own story , of that ghastly, hideous, excruciating moment when it all turned around for him."
