The Switch Game
I have to send weekly reports to my manager. There's a section called Roadblocks. I never know what to put for that. Because you can't stop me. I'm like what you would get if you crossed a ninja with a freight train. So, sort of a frinja.
Anyway, Dear Readers, here's a magical exercise for those so inclined. Think about things you would change, if all you had to do were throw a switch and things would be the way you want them. A switch for your job, labeled Suck or Awesome. A switch for so-and-so labeled Mean/Nice. Your car, politics, the weather, anything.
Step 2: the world *is* full of such switches, and all you have to do to flip one is to decide that it's so and act accordingly, or take some small action or make some small change in your pattern. See how many switches you can flip before you get proven wrong. Or how big things you can switch, or how long you can go. Then try to beat that record. You don't have to flip every switch you come across (just the ones you want) and you can start small if you like. Your choice. Some switches will be more likely to prove you wrong, or have negative side effects if thrown. Notice which ones and why you think so.
