Self-Defeating Belief #4

This belief is self-defeating because the shitshow is life, and chaos is baked in. Trying to control the shitshow is a futile and miserable waste of time.

Kevin will always have a discussion point that extends a work meeting when you think you will be done early (or on time). Kim will always object to your latest brilliant idea. Someone will always be sick and unable to do the work. You will never be perfect.

When you expect the shitshow, you can sit back with interest and watch it unfold without personalization. It isn’t about you anyway. Again, it is life with all of its tortuous beauty.

Once you shed the belief about control, you are free to sidestep, ignore, laugh, or even join in, but you won’t lose time and energy feeling victimized by it.

I write books that are available where you get yours.
