Cleaning Up My Act

I have decided to throw down some statements and thoughts that in their present SE form would perhaps stunt my progress for action so let us see what happens when I re-think them out under EP rules…

SE: It is hopeless, I can't find a damn publisher!
EP: I have sent off two proposals so far and the results would appear fruitless having received one denial and a non-response.

Comment: Things are not quite as "hopeless" as I first irrationally thought when I consider the FACTS rather then be consumed by emotional-blockage.

SE: I would like to be a psychologist.
EP: I would like to counsel people with relationship problems as it seems to fit my personal area of research and interest.

Comment: By critically thinking about what I want to DO rather then be I can lower a level of abstraction or ambiguity in my original thought providing more clarity.

SE: I was once enthusiastic about a career in Information Technology.
EP: I once had a fun job doing I.T. support which I lost when my former boss decided he no longer needed my services.

Comment: I see how losing a particular I.T. job does not reflect on how I might succeed in future I.T. positions.

SE: Sunday is the boring day of rest.
EP: It seems to me that I can do something today considering that I did not go out last night and have a sober head this afternoon.

Comment: At this juncture it doesn't seem like just another Sunday but a day of productive opportunity.
