Like most people, I’ve struggled and striven for optimal systems—an evangelist set of do’s and don’ts that will shape my outcomes—but I’ve found that unless I’m dealing with safe, predictable, low-reward problems, it’s a shortfall approach.
It’s better to train my moment-to-moment focus, trusting that everything happens for a good reason. This opens my eyes to possibility and potential. If none is apparent, then it’s time to abide in my belief that this too shall pass, and better things will come.

With phrases like, “…exceptions to the rule,” how can anyone expect to live in a regimented fashion and be any more than just getting by? Setbacks hit much harder to those that restrict themselves to routine and habit. Routines and habits are not bad things, so long as they can be changed and updated to take advantage of opportunity.

Exactly. They’re recognition of when the rhythm of life is responsive and predictable, then when they need to be changed, that’s recognition of a new tempo making itself known.

The ability to maintain peripheral vigilance and call an audible beats the hell out of boredom. I once gave the whole system the finger and “refused to be processed like a can of tuna.” It was far from safe, but a hell of a lot more fun.

Which could arguably be called the right prioritization of life!
