Consider it done.

You’ve heard the phrase “Consider it done” countless times, in movies and tv, right?

In case you haven’t, you can find a ton of “Consider it done” clips online (all kinds: sit-coms, rom-coms, cartoons, and really creepy crimey movies).

The delivery can be supportive or sinister, but the intent is the same and crystal clear:

You don’t have to worry about that any more. It’s handled. Consider it done.

Cut to our clearly relieved hero. Watch preoccupation dissipate and stress vanish. The moment changes and our relaxed protagonist moves on.

Be your hero. You already are. You were born that way.

You don’t have to wait for someone to put a loving hand on your shoulder (or a hand on their gun) and tell you to consider it done.

Relief from problems and challenges are closer to hand than a buddy or a loved one or your hired help.

Keep waiting for Willem Dafoe or Bart Simpson to stride in and fix it for you.

Or know you’re okay right in the middle of your now. Consider it done.

Consider that you’ve got options, that what you’re thinking right now isn’t the only thought in town.
