If you feel like shit, don\u2019t look in the direction of the shit for answers.<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I know, because this is what I\u2019ve been doing most of my life, and it created countless smelly, dark and anxious days (and nights).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And so much fucking confusion.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Whenever I felt bad, I tried to find solutions in the bad soup that consisted of my tainted thinking.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I tried to struggle my way out of the crap by using crappy thoughts.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Really bad idea.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Very unhelpful and really discouraging.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Don\u2019t do it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just don\u2019t engage with the shit.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Don\u2019t listen to the voice in the shit that tells you to use it as a starting point for answers, or a pointer that will get you to the exit, straight into freedom.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The ONLY thing that it points to and that might be truly helpful, is that you should ignore it completely and don\u2019t listen to it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Go the opposite way.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Shit won\u2019t be able to tell you what to do next.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It doesn\u2019t know anything about the future, nor is it capable of making fresh and creative decisions.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Shit is a really bad judge of circumstances, and an awful jumping board for inspired action.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And whatever gets touched by the shit, will start to smell like shit.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Leave it alone.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s the way to go.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
