Choices and the shit sandwich
Choices and the shit sandwich
I posted this on a thread a minute ago and decided to make it a thread here. If you are tired of eating shit sandwiches you might want to give it a read!
We might eat shit sandwiches every day for a long time. It becomes our "normal". One day while sitting in a restaurant we may have a moment of clarity during which we realize we have just ordered yet anothe shit sandwich from the waiter without even thinking about it. We notice that we didn't even look at the menu. And here the waiter comes with another shit sandwich for us to eat.
We get stuck believing that we have no choice. We stop remembering that there even is a menu. We have given up the power to choose. We have gotten lost in a rut that looks like a room full of shit sandwiches. We kinda know its true, but we don't know what to do about it.
Step one is to see that we have a choice. Step two is to see that we keep making the same one. Step three is to accept that it is only by our own decision that we make this choice. Step four is to fully understand that no one else makes this decision for us. Step five is to open up that menu and really look and see what other choices we have. Step six is to look at our own resistance to changing what we order. Somewhere around step seven we decide that in this life we will stop ordering shit sandwiches and stand above it all and start building a new life making healthy choices out of all the other things that life has to offer.
No one has the power to make me eat shit sandwiches except me. I got tired of them a long time ago...but there was a time when they gave me what nothing else could. They gave me a place to hide from my fear. I was afraid to make another choice. My fear creates obsession. Obsession stops me from seeing clearly all the other things that life has to offer.
