Getting Back on Track | Just Do The Thing
Other People’s Decisions
You do not get to make decisions for other people, sorry. Try and you will only frustrate yourself and those you seek to make decisions for.
With a clear intention, you can enroll others into participating—or at least have a shot at it. But remember that they’re going to do whatever they’re going to do. The Thing is powerful, but it has no real power over other people. They might not even get along.
Also be mindful of this when setting goals and choosing Things, as on Something Doable.
Goals like “I want to be the best such-and-such” or “I want to win this award” are results that may or may not come from you being the best You that you can be, or doing right by your Thing. You don’t control the awards committee, you don’t control who else is competing, you don’t decide when the rules should change. That’s their Thing, let them have it!
You don’t want their Thing anyway. You’ve got yours. What was it’s name again?
Yeah, go do that.
