I'm going to do a little work on my head, and I'll let you guys in on the process, a little. It's a bit silly, but it has worked well for me.

Thanks for doing a great job. You've kept me alive and sufficiently prosperous to meet most of my needs. You've helped me to grow and learn. You've taken on the challenges I've given you and we're doing a bang-up job.

I have a new job for you. One of the programs we're running, one no-doubt designed to protect me during some crucial stage of my development, is no longer serving me well. It seems that I have an anti-success program running. A sabotaging unit that breaks down creativity and drive before there's any threat of "success". While I can see that this was instituted with love and care, I am now ready to take on the challenges that await should I venture into "success". So, I would ask that you put the creative problem-solvers on the task of analyzing this program and replacing it with one that has the advantages but doesn't keep me from completing tasks, or otherwise achieving the most basic elements necessary for "success". I think the money-spending habits are likely part of this process as well, so please look at those, too. Take your time and do this well, but I'd like the new program instituted soonest.

Thanks again for all the hard work, and keep all the programs running that aren't interfering. This is an old one, and I understand that it may be tough, but I have faith in your abilities.

Carry on, team, and again: Thanks.

That's how I do it.
