There would be no more unknown.

And I know it sounds like a very simple, naive way of thinking, but I actually based a lot of my life on that.

And I did, I went to law school.

I got a job at a large firm.

I married this great guy.

And I could actually remember walking to work my first day thinking, I've arrived.

Everything will now be okay.

And of course, the second day of work,

My office mate comes in and says, hey, Allison, did you hear they're firing half the first years?

And I was a first year at the time.

And they didn't end up firing me.

But I remember that was the moment I realized that I would never have certainty.

And I just kind of lost control.

And, you know, where was I going to lose my job after that?

Was there going to be a terrorist attack?

Would my parents feel okay?

Would my husband leave me?

So that's how I started to identify the fact that I had this addiction.

And then I started to feel sick and I couldn't sleep because the worry just took over until one day I heard this beautiful Taoist story.

And it's about this farmer and the farmer had a horse and his horse ran away.
