Okay, I’ve been putting it off for far too long now. Time to do The Thing.
Yes, The Thing that will improve me and make my life better.

Oh wait, I got an email. I Got Mail. Wasn’t that the movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan? No, it was You Got Mail. I’ve never seen that movie and still know what it’s about. Weird.
Better check that email. Might be something important. Oh, it’s one of the 15 e-commerce sites which I’ve shopped at once. They have a sale on furniture. Wow, an egg-swing-chair for only 250 bucks. Who wouldn’t want a piece of sitting equipment shaped like the very cradle of life itself? But where would I put it? Would I use it enough? How about assembly? How do you ship an egg-shaped swing anyway? I’ve never seen an egg-shaped box. What if someone orders twelve of them? Does it come in a giant egg carton?
Oh, wait, The Thing. The Thing.
Okay, started doing The Thing. This is easy. Why did I put it off for so long? It’s a breeze. I should’ve got to it sooner.
Now, it’s getting harder. This is painful. Why are the tools for doing The Thing so useless? I definitely need to buy something better. Then, I’ll be truly ready to do The Thing. Maybe, I’ll even go outside and do it. Yeah, that’s what’s been stopping me from doing The Thing. Lack of equipment which I can parade in public. I should continue doing The Thing once I’ve ordered everything I need.
Right. Back to doing The Thing.
This is unfair. Why do I need to do this? It’s civilization that’s at fault, not me. The self-help industry going on and on about how I’m useless because I don’t do The Thing. Well, guess what Tony Robbins, first, I like the way I am and I don’t need to do The Thing just to impress you. And second, I have no idea who you are. I just saw your name on YouTube video title once. Man, YouTube is so great. Imagine millions of videos on every conceivable topic under the sun. Why am I doing The Thing when I could watch YouTube?
This is hopeless. I am never going to achieve anything by doing The Thing. It’s pointless. It’s a false lofty idealistic unachievable standard thrust down upon us by society. A society that laughs at us. Mocks us. And continues to reward the talent-less. The hacks. The Kardashians.
Oh hey, The Thing is done. Nice. Whoa, I just finished The Whole Thing. This feels good. It’s almost as if I stop running away from problems, the problems just disappear. I should do The Thing more often. Oh wait, was that a sound of a new must-watch series dropping?
