Mickey Rourke says he realized, "This ain't working," and changed.

He changed his outlook, his behavior changed, and he got the part in The Wrestler that was a boost to his career.

Hemingway found at the end that the Hemingway code no longer worked. It was hollow. He was going through the motions. So he offed himself.

I realize what I am doing is working. I adapt.

Whatever comes, I handle it. I take it in stride.

I take smaller steps. But I'm moving forward. Inexorably.
