Today's Pearl Of Wisdom:

"If you are trying to fly under the radar, then why are you flying?"

Going with the metaphor, there are many modes of transportation. If flying is one that will put you at risk for being exposed to something you'd rather not, than why would you not choose an alternate means of travel? I know, those are a lot of fun and playful words, so lets be more concrete. Linear thinking is what I'm referring to. It is when you can only stay on one pathway of thought, regardless of how others may introduce alternate options to you. You are so transfixed on this one way of doing "it", that it is as if you have blinders on. Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. There is an expression that goes, "Water seeks it's own level." It's one of my favorites. You create your path. No one else. If you'd like to take the difficult road, then shut out everyone else and do it your way. You will find the heartache at the finish line that you have drawn. For example, if you have a boss that actually makes you so upset that you have to go on meds strictly for this reason, it's time to take inventory. Keeping a low profile at work will certainly minimize the amount of harassment you receive, but you can decide that you are worthy of a better working environment which is not abusive, hence a better life, and report the boss or look for a better job. Until then, I'm afraid you will just keep "flying under the radar" until your wings get too tired or until you get caught by a predator.
