The Prevention Paradox // The Upside of Down // Read

Did you know the likelihood of a severe injury is higher in football than in rugby? Even though football players wear padding and helmets and rugby players don’t? That is what we call The Prevention Paradox. The more we do to prevent injury and failure, the more susceptible we become. In fact, many safety measures we use often make failure more likely. That’s because failure has never been something we were supposed to avoid. And when we try to do so, we find out it just makes our life and problems worse.

Don't Trust The Realtor // How To (Still) Survive A Horror Movie

Common Horror Movie Trope: Family moves to a house in the country looking for a fresh start. And the deal always sounds incredible, doesn’t it? “A gorgeous Victorian purchased for a third of the appraisal value.” But there is always a catch. Something terrible happened in that house, and the deal is inevitably too good to be true. And so it is with sin. Sin always over-promises and under-delivers, hiding the true cost of your transaction. If you want to avoid this “horror movie moment” in your life, remember: Never take the deal, no matter how tempting it appears.
