Straight lines

If you try and walk in a straight line down Oxford Street from Centrepoint to Selfridges, the only way you can do this is by refusing to yield and bowling anyone who gets in your way.

If you anticipate, dodge, and weave, it's a tiny bit more mental and physical effort, but you won't come to grief. In fact, when you get used to it, it becomes automatic and costs less energy than the strain of forcing yourself to walk into people and handling the fallout from doing so.

Frustration, resentment, and conflict come from trying to walk in a straight line.

Give up the straight line. Recognise there are a thousand impediments coming your way: anticipate, dodge, and weave.
