CHANGING OUR MENTAL CUSTOMS
In Our Desperate Daily Quest
To Become Instantly Acceptable
By Our Enemies, Allies, And Associates
We Often Abandon Our Own Agendas
Before Our Personal Plans Are Barely Born

We Never Seem To Complete
The Tasks We Undertake
Before We Attempt To Sell Ourselves
At The Bargain Basement Price
To Any Purchaser
Who Is Willing To Pay Our Price

Lacking A Firm Faith
In Our Own Selected Schedule
We Keep Looking For A Leader
To Tell Us What To Think

Like Travelers Without A Map
Who Must Frequently Stop
To Seek Directions From Strangers
We Wander Through Life
And Keep Changing Our Chosen Course
Each Time We Are Unwisely Instructed
To Take A Wrong Road

After Many Frustrating Years And Miles
Traveling On Our Way To Nowhere
Without An Accurate Itinerary
Or A Precise Compass
And After Following The Words
Of Conventional Wisdom
We Become Disappointed
When We Suddenly Discover
That Our Desirable Destination
Has Been Needlessly Delayed By Detours

To Return To The Right Route
From The Sidetracks And Trails
Commonly Traveled By Conformists
We Must Change Our Mental Customs
And Seek Some Wiser Counsel
For Our New Trip Into The Future

After We Make Adjustment In Our Attitude
And We Learn To Read And Study
The Signs And Wonders We See
Posted Along Our Path
We Are Less Likely To Become Lost
