First off, lemme say this: “I am F#cking Awesome! I – literally – Know All! I possess all the Answers to all the Problems in the Entire Universe!! Yayy, Me!”
Okay PASSION. You had Your fun. Calm the F#ck down now. [N: *giggles maniacally while running off*]
But in all seriousness: I’ve learned a few tricks along the way. Not just learned, though: I’ve tracked them, organized them into My mental Files, and recalled them – when an external opportunity arises – to put the Concept “into Good use.”
If I was to imagine Myself as some ‘thing’? I’m a Lighthouse – just standing over here by Myself, on My little deserted island, minding My Own business… and shining My light out onto lost ships. Or ships “just passing through.” Or ships that “have sailed” – those are the bestest IMO, because those ships offer Me the most… challenge. Interest. Excitement.
But here’s the Story I am telling right now. [N: I guess You could call all that “the necessary Context” for what comes next]
[N: and I could just be hangry right now, because technically I haven’t eaten My breakfast yet… so I wanna get this Story posted so I can go back to “scavenging for food” in My Kitchen]
Sometimes? I do take credit. I am the first to say How Awesome I Am… but, the trick is I don’t take credit “100% of the time.” [N: this speaks to Equilibrium again, but that’s Another Story for Another day] It depends on what My goal is. Is My goal “money”? Adoration by the madding crowds?? Or is it.. PASSION just likes the dopamine jolts?
You guess, DR, which one drives AKA motivates My behavior in Current Day.
And consider this: Me taking credit for something – while useful in certain scenarios – is gonna be happening below the water line of the iceberg.
You won’t be able to see it, DR. There won’t be any external air-quotes ‘Proof.’ You will only be forced – at Your Own discretion, certainly – to observe what I do. To hear what I say. And then – using this acquired data – to do a TECH evaluation in Your Own SB.
