part of me wants to take the second option, but I have so many intrusive thoughts, I fear what I'd do with my new found power.

I'm hung up on the "can't control the outcome of the action" part.
What exactly does that mean. Like, if I chose "Always be able to kick a football 65 yards pin straight in any weather", where does "can't control the outcome of the action" come into play? --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So it would just be normal stuff I think of? What if I thought "I'm going to pick the winning lotto numbers" would that not work?
