Operation Achieve Anything: Day Eighty-Two, Dateline 3-23-2018

As you make your bed, so you must lie on it.
— English Saying

Good morning Crickets. How are you doing on this fine Friday morning, better known as name number eighty-two of Operation Achieve Anything? Once again, my plans for the weekend have fallen through but as with last week, I think I might take advantage of the extra work that I put in to take the time off and relax over the next couple of days. I’m starting to think that I might start to double down on my efforts a couple of days during each week in order to take weekends off in general, or at least free up the time to start up a weekend project to break up the repetitiveness of my current schedule.

Once I finally fit in this visit with my oldest sister, I’ll start to think more about what I want to do with my time. As for now, let’s get into my assignment updates for the day. Yesterday, I was told to focus on shoveling my own snow while not judging others for their efforts, meaning I should only focus on issues that I have control over while leaving my issues with others issues alone.

This was a pretty easy one because, for the most part, I stay out of other people’s hair. I never try to correct people or push them in any direction unless they are actively seeking help. As a reclusive/starving artist type, I have made many life choices that many people disagree with, like how I never sought a real career because I feel it would get in the way of me living my dreams. Most people don’t understand how I would rather die struggling while doing what I love rather than have a little more comfort from being locked to a nine to five job.

I don’t disrespect those who do live nine to five lives, in fact, I fully agree that it’s a much safer approach to life than mine but I don’t want to be judged for my choice so I don’t judge others in exchange. In general, unless someone actions affect others in a negative way, I’m pretty much fine with anything. I might share my opinions but I don’t really push them and wish I got the same respect in return but, unfortunately, we now seem to be living in the world where everyone keeps fighting over how we should all be controlled and we just can’t agree on the controllers, rather than fight to be free.

So, yes, I successfully fulfilled yesterday’s assignment by simply leaving everyone else alone. With that, it’s now time to share the task for today. This one is going to be another fun one because it allows me to go dark as I explore the old adage about making your bed and having to lie in it, as mention in the quote at the top of the page. Of course, the adage means if you do a sloppy job making your bed you then have to deal with any comfort loss that may come with your corner-cutting decision to rush, only for the assignment the bed in question is my life.

My answer to yesterday’s assignment has a few hints as to how I will answer this task but you will have to wait for tomorrow’s update to see what I manage to come up with. Until then, it’s now that time for me to wrap this up by saying, good day and good luck to you and all of your project!!!

Talk to you soon.

Sincerely,

The Wicker Breaker
