If at first you don't succeed, Try Try Again, if Desired

no answer is an easy answer, if that were the case we would all have easy answers but together all the wrong answers might lead one in the right/correct directions.

Option 37: None of us are smart enough to know what the right thing is for sure.

if you are doing the right thing in order to get certain results, you're not actually doing the right thing.

To do the right thing one doesn't need specific results. If you do then you're doing it wrong.

I have a little scotch, a little weed, and think it over.

Level 7

WTF is "the right thing" and how is it related to "the desired results"? Is it the right thing only when it gets the desired result? Or is it independent of the results?

If there is a desired result, and if the repeating the right thing doesn't get you there, should you try to do the wrong thing?

What are you asking?

Likely then that means your not doing it for the right reasons.

You have heard that you reap what you sow?
My version of it is.. if the farmer truly loves farming and learns to find joy & balance in the act itself, then even if his crop is not great he will still be happy with the results..

@hippydog still be almost happy? you mean

@SonnyJonty1 nope

Life is complicated. There is no formula for “Do x get y.”
