A Genie appeared and said to Man,
\n“I can give you anything you want. I have unlimited power. Let’s start with your favorite meal. What do you like?”
\nSo Man describes his favorite meal. And looks forward to it with great anticipation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And Genie says, “OK that’s what you get for dinner tonight. <\/p>\n Within a short period of time Man asks Genie to change the meal. “I thought it was your favorite.”\u00a0 Well, yes it was<\/strong>. But too much of the same and it’s no longer true.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “OK” says Genie, “What do you want.” <\/p>\n After many, many tries Genie finally says, “I’ll grant you just one more wish. You better make it a good one.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And Man says, “I want Free Will. Then I can choose what I want, when I want.” <\/p>\n You have free will, why are you choosing to have the same life every day. <\/p>\n ————————–<\/p>\n These are related:<\/strong><\/p>\n 3<\/strong> Cumulative Knowledge<\/a> – 5<\/strong> Decision<\/a> – 12<\/strong> Change<\/a> – 13<\/strong> Changing Change<\/a><\/p>\n 20<\/strong> The \u2018Gift\u2019 of Knowledge<\/a> – 28<\/strong> Getting What I Want!<\/a> – 29<\/strong> Who\u2019s in Charge?<\/a> – 36<\/strong> Prime Time<\/a><\/p>\n 43<\/strong> Desire<\/a> – 46<\/strong> Always<\/a> – 59<\/strong> Hesitation<\/a> – 73<\/strong> Killing Frogs<\/a> – 79<\/strong> Truth Time<\/a> – 96<\/strong> Habits<\/a> – 97<\/strong> Variety<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Genie appeared and said to Man, “I can give you anything you want.

\nIn fact, I’ll make sure you get it every<\/span> night.”<\/p>\n
\nAnd Man describes yet a different meal.
\nAnd soon, yes, he tires of that one, too.<\/p>\n
\n“Oh, and make that true for everything in my life.”<\/p>\n
\nDay in and day out.
\nWhy not change at least one of the once-great-but-now-boring routines you have.<\/p>\n
