Anticipate Trouble

in #habits8 years ago

Today I was almost insanely over confident. Ignoring my plans and decades of experience, I attempted to stretch financially. I was saved by my self imposed rigid system. I have set up my accounts to prohibit my impulsive historical decisions. Big moves in my personal world take a few days. E35986A0-5E98-4627-8929-E70F74F3CE93.jpeg

My decisions today were thwarted by my past decisions on how I store value. Sometimes I am like a child who loves to drive fast. I need a governor installed to slow me down when I try to go past my limit.

I have covered my diversified portfolio: (Silver, Steem, and Lightcoin). Each of these ‘pockets’ requires time to access. My bank and credit accounts are kept low on purpose simply because I realize my weaknesses.

I also have a lifelong habit of over eating. I try not to keep large quantities of yummy food with easy access. Self denial is usually easy, but some days are emotionally tough.

Because I understand my weaknesses, I anticipate trouble and slow myself by designed systemic restrictions. I probably should seek help. My life has become slightly masochistic.

Look internally or ask a close friend to expose your personal failures, limitations, and weaknesses. Design your life to help yourself become who you want to be. Of course, if you are in perfect control, you can do everything just as you always have.

Here is today’s beauty.

I'd really like to read more about "designed systemic restrictions.". What are they in your case?

I can relate to this . You got to make some tough decisions

Every human being has a weakness, but behind the weakness that God is the great strength of the Insert without we realize, and never slumped with weakness. ..

It's good to know your weaknesses and prepare for them.

Good post @doctorjohn

Thanks for sharing bro :)

It sounds like you have it under control and you do not need help. Have a nice day.

really @doctorjohn I agree with you. The most know our weakness is our own. therefore, what is most appropriate for building our defenses is our own. Doing it systemically and consistently as you say is the best way.
