I'm just musing on the debacle I described in the most recent Daily Reminder (a piece that tickled many of you, thanks for the feedback)!
And maybe this is it? The whole thing. The fallout from a story like that, and what it's pointing to:
My paraphrase of this one (lest you were about to start beating yourself up):
“The mind is a powerful instrument. When it decides that something is true, or beyond our reach, it's very difficult to pierce through this ‘self’-created hurdle.”
A powerful instrument indeed, thinking back to the stolen car story.
Look what it did! Look how comprehensively it doubled down on itself.
And look what happened, as a result.
So, the question remains:
It's just a mind talking. To itself.
It doesn't have to be taken seriously.
Go be awesome.
