The Ideal Self doesn’t have to “deal”
The initial shock of dropping something you like hurts.
It hurts like hell.
The reason: on the other side of something we like is our ideal selves.
We, in our heart of hearts, are that marathon runner that works in soup kitchens while building a national nonprofit and makes our “significant other” swoon with our romantic gestures.
However, we can’t do all these things at once. In the face of too many options, we freeze due to the consequences.
The “ideal self” doesn’t deal with consequences.
We do.
So:
- Forgive yourself for it.
- Pick one and knock it out the park.
