We Are Not Doom-Planning Today

Metaphorical Narrative

The mind builds blueprints of the future like a frantic architect, sketching tower after tower as if perfection itself could shield you from disaster. Every actor in the old theatre adds their lines of fear to the script: “What if you miss this detail?” “What if you’re not ready?” The drawings pile higher and higher, until the present vanishes beneath paper.

But none of those plans escape the BIN. The BIN swallows every false urgency, every fear-etched line. In the end, you hold the pen. Not the actors. Not the fear. You.

Core Insight

Fear doesn’t chase the future — it guards an image of the future. It wants the appearance of control, not the life itself. The fastest way out is ownership: choose two things that matter, bin the other ninety-eight. Ownership is identity in action, not in theory.

Saturday Experiment

1. Start your day with the mantra: “We are not doom-planning today.”
2. Write down two things you will own completely.
3. Everything else goes to the BIN — no compromise, no fear veto.

Sunday Reflection

• Did the two things feel like yours or like assignments from fear?
• What happened when the other ninety-eight screamed for attention?
• How does it feel in third person: “They chose two, and fear lost its throne”?
