"I am content to be here alone on my property. I deserve this good life. I
have become used to it, so I don't really need any other people around for
fulfillment.
"To achieve this level of success and satisfaction, I have functioned from
a position of dedication, clarity of purpose, and single-mindedness. I
must admit, though, that the cost of that much self-discipline has
sometimes been the loss of the spontaneity and freedom I treasured when I
was younger.
"Still, I have no regrets. I did my work, paid my dues, and had the
patience and perseverance to see my efforts through to their successful
conclusion. I am now self-reliant. I have become all that I could be at
this time, which is why my key phrase is
sensual fullness and fulfillment."
