I kept a steel wall around my moral and sexual instincts - protecting them I thought from the threats of the real world. This gave me a tremendous advantage in politics if not in my soul. The true me my spiritual core slipped further and further from reach.
I have got instincts that I think are very much in tune with people's very keen sense to see something different. I did not dream of being in politics since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I was not involved in student politics or not in that partisan way.
It has taken a great deal of energy which has not been so difficult to summon as the necessary patience to wait simply wait much of the time - until my instincts assured me that I had assembled my materials in proper order for a final welding into their natural form.
Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side his nobler instincts and his higher nature - and another woman to help him forget them.

I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature both animals and plants the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself you don't have to think about it.
Humor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor creativity follows. With luck success comes too.

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home my family doesn't discuss media coverage.

Looking back on those games I probably hustled out of position as much as I hustled into position since I really never had any real training. I was working on instincts alone.
