Free Thought Friday - Self Destruct Button

"Well I think I see your problem. Everything is wired through this self destruct button. Do you even need that?"

 

"Well of course I need tha--wait! No, I don't. I do not need that!" 

 



Well, it's the night before another birthday party at my house. Another event I have all planned out. I plan out a lot of my life... to the minute. Then one of two things happens.

1. Some inconceivable problem arises to thwart my plans (or something obvious that I totally saw coming).
2. I throw the plan out the window and wing it. 

I tend to do well in 'fight or flight', 'sink or swim', 'crunch time' type moments. It's when I have time to attempt order that makes me crazy... or anxious. One time, far off in the future, one of my plans will go off without a hitch.

But until then, I vow to stop being my own self destruct button. I am going to chart my course, then go with the flow of things. You win some, you lose some. But you'll never be victorious if you keep getting in your own way.

And I'll pay attention to my subconscious, too:

"...I tried that robot [uprising] once, too. I hid the self destruct button on the bottoms of their feet, so nobody could reach them."

 *BOOM*

I hear ya.

 

Don't be a Doof.

and that's my free thought this Friday:)
