Why is it that the harder we try to do the things we need to do, the more disaster strikes?

I know, probably a rhetorical question.

With me, it seems to come in cycles, just when I think I have everything accounted for, something I missed jumps up and bites me, and it isn't usually a little thing either.

I think I can relate to what you said.  I normally act on impulse rather than well planned action, then when I haven't taken care of something rush in and make a mess of things.  This is something I have to fight with all the time.  Is this what you are talking about? Exactly, but a lot of the time it deals with important finacial matters, and I get so secretive about things, no one else knows about the problems I am having until critical mass sets in.I know how you feel.  Suddenly I'll be out off money and wondering how I did that.  I can stop myself from getting overdrawn at the bank, but I really have to watch myself.  Generally I don't want to tell anyone what I did due to embarrassment. 

I think this comes from fear of making a decision, then my impulsivity sets in.  I hope your situation is not too serious.  Generally with me things work out, I just suffer from not getting done what I really wanted to.  I am really watching myself now.  I need to sit down and plan out how I am going to finish my Christmas shopping instead of leaving it to chance that I have got enough to cover everything.  Thanks for posting this.  Now maybe I'll prevent a disaster.
