#31–What makes desperation such a cozy place?

Desperation feels like a plush sofa for your mind

#31–What makes desperation such a cozy place?

I know I won't solve anything by feeling desperate.


I also know I'll hurt my chances of success by feeling desperate–no one will hire or buy from a desperate person.


But desperation acts on my mind like the sirens' chants acted on the mythic sailors. Unless I'm fully alert and protect myself, I go there.


Because the neural groove is deeply marked in my brain. It's become the easy path. The most-traveled path.


Today, I choose to change. I'm putting a lock on the cozy place and throwing away the key.


Enough.


Have you ever felt comfort in desperation?


Love,

Carolina
