The Fork In The Road

“If there’s anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.” – Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
​

What is the state of your internal world, right now?

​
Do you feel clear, centered, and strong?

​
Or do you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and cloudy?

​
The only right answer is the truth, so turn your attention inwards and take a look.

​
If you feel clear, centered, and strong — bueno.

​
Carry on.

​
However:

​
If you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, cloudy, whiny, cranked, wanked, or otherwise janked…

​
…My next question for you is this:

​
​Is that state productive, for you?

​
Is frustration helping you make progress?

​
Is overwhelm helping you gain clarity?

​
Is whining about the problem helping you solve the problem?

​
Is staying janky helping you get un-janky?

​
Sit with that for a moment, because we’ve reached a fork in the road.

​
For many, the question alone will crank their jank to new levels of wank, and send them spinning down the side of the road that leads, effectively, nowhere.

​
(“mrrahhh I’ll be janky if I damn well wanna be!!!”)

​
​Those people are not serious about self-mastery.

​
They’re also probably not reading this right now, which means you, dear reader, took the side of the road that actually leads somewhere.

​
So good for you.

​
On that side of the road sits a big, glowing stop sign with an arrow in front of it and the solution to your problem behind it.

​
Beneath the arrow, clearly marked, are the words:

​
​Baggage stays here.

​
The moral of the story?

​
Our disturbance about a problem does not help solve the problem.

​
Let go of the disturbance, and the solution appears.
