I've been thinking on this for the past two weeks due to a couple of "altercations" happening around me financially; one guy trying to underpay me, a lady taking up way too much of my time immediately pulling out of something I assumed was stable. Those altercations really put me under serious stress to the point that I was working 24/7 on them. It sucked.
I was pretty angry, and I had to do some mental gymnastics to find a way to NOT get so shaken and affected by this stuff. My conclusion is that whenever you hold any kind of unrealistic expectation and go on "faith" you will open yourself to all kinds of ways things can go wrong.
- They do something stupid and greedy that doesn't help them
- You do something stupid and survivalist that distracts you
- They escalate bs
- You escalate bs
Its a double sided blade. So my new understanding is that you have to expect things to fall through as much as they go well, no matter what.
Set everything up according to this principle, or you will suffer bi-polar swings in what goes down around you.
