Why the third time is the charm: (F%#* it)

I was thinking about why the third time is the charm, and here's what I think.

I think that the first time, we have all these ideas about what it should be, what the outcome is, how it should look in the end. And when we do it, it doesn't match, so we think we did it wrong.

But then we decide that we learned from the first time. So we make all these changes to match this new understanding and we try it a second time, with this expectation that this time, this time it will be different because we're doing it this way.
And then that doesn't work either.

So then we say to ourselves F%#* it. When I tried it the first way, it didn't work. And the other way didn't work either. So I might as well give up because no matter what I try, it doesn't work.
And then we do it.
And then it works.
Not because it works, but because we said F&%* it, because we went in to it having no expectation with it being a certain way. We gave in, we said "I can't make it work, I'm just gonna take whatever I get."

and voila- that's the charm.
