“If the impulse you’re following stems from a painful thought lodged in your head, consider tuning into something else. When I was a child, I used to stick my fingers in electrical sockets. A sharp pain would shoot through me, I’d cry, the lights would go out, and I’d get a spanking. Yet, the very next day, I’d do it again. We all have things we cling to, like glue—and pain can be one of them. Don’t be a fool like I was, continuing to touch that socket. Exercise your power to change your path. Gravitate toward what truly lights you up in other ways.”
