How do I overcome myself? I've got plans and desired outcomes and it's running me into the ground.
Just as a side anecdote, but I’ve found that having desired outcomes is a surefire way to get disappointed and let down.
I mean that as in a singular desired outcome for any given action. The more specific the outcome or its prerequisites, the better you’d be not to expect anything and just go do the thing without overthinking it. Note: not abandoning or giving up on the doing of the thing, rather just go and do it and adapt to what universe and chance gives you.
