You cannot break what’s flexible. Sometimes acknowledging the truth holds you back even further. Sometimes the truth will set you free. Sometimes ignoring the truth leads only to negative consequences. Sometimes succumbing to the truth becomes why you keep failing over and over again. Being too focused on the rules with disregard to the outcome of sticking to those rules is why you’ll always keep failing. There’s no honor in being restricted by something that you only made up to make your life easier or better. And in the pursuit of that outcome through strictly utilizing those rules you end up straying away from that outcome in the end. You forgot why those rules existed in the first place. And you ended up worshipping the rule or the method instead of focusing on why you have those rules in the first place. You forgot to focus on what really matters, the outcome. And that, my friend, is what happens when you are not clear on what really matters in this world or life to you.
