whatever you think, think the opposite.



Think the opposite. It's important to give that a try. Too often I just settle. And by all accounts, settling does make sense off the cuff. It's safe. It's a hot cup of tea and a blanket in front of a good movie, while the clouds piss on your roof and ice winds threaten the homeless. Sounds cosy.

But the problem with wanting safety, is that you might tend to look for it even when there is nothing threatening you. It might be 33 degrees outside (celsius), and there we are with our cups of tea. Sweating and missing the opportunity to experience a beautiful day...in the pool perhaps.

I'm going to try really hard. I'm going to force a new perspective. I'm going to accept the prospect of failure. I'm going to do it anyway...

...and I'm going to keep reading Paul Arden's little books.
