On Tuesdays I have karate in the evening. Because of the class time, I need to catch the 5pm bus home. Some days the bus is late or absent. Some days it is too crowded to let me on. And sometimes I want that. I want an external force that means I can't get to class, because I really don't want to go. Of course I'm free to stay home if I wish, but it's easier if there's an excuse. I realise that's a cop-out and that I'm not taking responsibility for my actions in that way.
If all external pressures pushed me in the path of least resistance, I wouldn't be living. If I choose to expend no effort, then I achieve nothing of real value.

PS - I did go to karate last night.
PPS - Then I went for a run this morning.
