You are always in control.

I woke up from a dream where my client cancelled our contract. And, it's probably going to happen due to budget issues.

Uncomfortable though it is for me, I spent the day contacting everyone I knew that might have consulting work for me.

I've got a number of hot leads.
1 day of work.

You are always in control.
But it's not always comfortable to choose to get back into control.
