You’re probably not in the habit of hiring people to do work for you who say to you “I’d love to do that job for you! I feel incompetent at it and the tools that I’m pretty sure I’ll need to do it are broken. Let’s get started!”
If your opinion is that you need fixing, how are you going to be the one doing it?
If you need fixing, the #1 thing you need to fix before you get started is the idea that you need fixing.
(Not only is it not true, thinking that you’re broken kind of gets in the way of you being able to get stuff done.)
The truth is that the things that drive you crazy about you are also the things that you have identified as keeping you sane.
The truth is that if you fix those things, you anticipate Worse Problems, so you don’t fix them.
Isn’t it comforting to be as closely connected as you are to someone who isn’t in the habit of creating problems for herself?
Right out of the box, you’re exactly and already the kind of person you want in your corner.
What do you do that drives you crazy that if you stop doing, you’ll be nothing but happy?

Love that graphic, Karen!!
Seems once upon a time I wrote a sister post to this.
Funny….
I cracked up when I saw it, so apropos.
Re the sister post… like minds, as they say…
