Rewrite Your Code

“That’s just the way you’re wired” Sure some settings are predetermined out of the box But most adapt over time to the environment Growing up we all adjust to the situation to survive To try to get our needs met and gain connection In order to not short circuit Same wiring extends to adulthood if you let it Easy to justify “that’s just the way I am” Using childhood strategies to cope with adult issues Until your wires cross The system crashes You no longer wish to operate this way Time for a diagnostic check up Begin by analyzing your internal schematics Must understand mechanics behind your motherboard Investigate ingrained patterns of behaviors Be gentle when digging into deep rooted tendencies The process will be pain staking But the payoff will be worth it You may realize it’s not all hard coded Don’t have to port over old programming You can override the system Have the ability to rewrite your code It’s ok to shed outdated strategies Create a test environment to establish new connections Tip toe along with trial and error to see what works You have agency to decide how to live your life Compared to only relying on your old “wiring” Time for an upgrade The world is waiting for your Version 2.0
