The Fire Loop

This isn't who you are.  It is a pattern you run.

It’s hard to see it when you’re in it.

SIGNAL

You said it.  You sent it.  You acted fast.  It felt right in the moment.  

Then you thought about it.

 

PATTERN

Something had to happen.  So you made it happen.

Now you have to deal with it.

COST

You have to explain.  Or take it back.  Or sit with it.


 

It didn't need to happen like that.

That's the loop.
You don't repeat the pattern.
You repeat the
story that justifies it.
Patterns are predictable.
You don't have to be.
NOTICE -> DECIDE -> DIRECT.
 


You’ve noticed. Now decide.
Does this pattern belong?

 


If not — interrupt it.

INTERRUPT

FLAG -> MOVE -> VERIFY

Pause before the next move.

Slow it down.

Do one thing, not five.

There are more running.

Most people don’t run one loop.
They run patterns.

One shows up first.
Another reinforces it.
A third keeps it in place.
