“ Having a clear vision of your life means having a tight grip on your ego structure, it means holding on to a rigid sense of who you are. But that sense of who you are is always an illusion. Eventually it’ll bite you on the ass. Sooner or later you will be forced to come to terms with the discontinuity between who you really are and who you imagine you are. If your grip on your imaginary self is too tight this will be extremely painful. If your grip is not so tight it will be a whole lot easier. ”
