Who is choosing my life?
"Pinocchio wanted to stop being a wooden puppet and become a child. This was his greatest desire, his profound goal. But when he meets Lamp-Wick, or the Cat and the Fox, he forgets his goal and follows what seems most important at the moment. In both cases, Pinocchio follows a secondary target, more pleasant but not in line with his deep desire. The result is that he deviates from his major goal or, at least, sets it aside until new, disappointing experiences bring it back to mind.
The many parts of us have each a different wish: One part urges going in one direction while the others disagree. It happens, for example, when we shift our attention from one wish to another because the need to satisfy a new wish appears more urgent." (Introspectivity. How to get the best from life, pages 173-174)
