THE MAGIC OF THREE

THE MAGIC OF THREE

When a situation comes along

My mind, forged by fear and caution

Wants to engulf the entire spectrum of possibilities

Following every path to every feasible and improbable outcome

Every ramification and repercussion

An impossible equation because not all factors are known

Can not, in fact, be known, currently

Events continue to unfold, the solutions must unfold also

When a situation is evolving I want to do something, but what?

I make a list of three things I can do right now, starting in this very moment

With the resources I currently have

I commit myself to these three things, simple though they may be

They become the hand holds I use to get a grip

On a much larger and dynamic method of control

Of my wild, hard, intimidating, shifting situation

I can use my three solid handholds to hang on 

Until the situation is calm, tame, and under my command.
