This or that

There are lots of things you could be working on right now.

And yet you’re working on that.

“Is it really the best use of your time?”

That, right there, is a silly question.

One you’ve probably asked yourself many times.

Am I working on the ‘right’ thing?
Should I be doing this, or that?
What if I’m going to regret this?

Forget those questions.
Replace them with this salve:

You’re working on it, because you wanted to.
You will never know if it’s ‘right’ or not.
Because there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.
Only ‘this’ or ‘that’.

You chose ‘this’.

And you can always choose ‘that’ later if you want to.

Don’t waste energy worrying about it any more than that.
It leads nowhere.
