If you have ever had to deal with a very bad illness, or a lot of stress, or anything that was not desirable, you are probably familiar with the idea of being fixed. And the person that feels like they can fix the person wants to fix them. There are times when eating and exercising right do not fix you.

Key Takeaways:

  • Both, of course, are perfectly natural. As my husband very logically likes to say, “Money is better than not-money.
  • In the same vein, health is generally better than not-health. Feeling good is generally better than not-feel-good.
  • An easy-to-solve problem is generally better than a hard-to-solve problem, and almost certainly better than a what-the-fuck-I-don’t-even problem.

“Of course, life likes to give us not-money and not-health and not-feel-good and it certainly has an infinite supply of what-the-fuck. The universe’s roulette wheel spins for all of us, and it really doesn’t care whether you have your little heart set on red 15 or what kind of magical incantations you have made.”
