In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations.
Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper
down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher.
Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find
supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More
time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.

Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come
forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the
reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and
