Found in a Canadian cookbook: If you don’t own an electric waffle iron skip this recipe.
Donna Dooher and Claire Stubbs with Lianne George
KrusteazGreat advice. Variants might read “If you lose heart when you make an ugly waffle, skip this recipe.” Not to mention, “If you live near a great waffle house. . .”
Practice: Identify an activity that is likely to require greater focus or more effort than it’s worth to you.
Consider skipping it.
Advanced practice: List the shoulds that interfere. Popular ones include: “Don’t be ridiculous,” “Nobody else finds it difficult,” “You just need to try harder…”
Such messages say “You are not who you ought to be,” which is an exorbitant price to pay for a waffle — or anything else.
