There is settling for worse—making excuses to remain stagnant and rotten, perpetuating the fight within—and there is accepting what is, which allows me to give up the internal fight and open my eyes to the best way forward. Giant difference.

Accepting what is isn’t always easy though.

It’s weird for me–it seems super tough before it happens, and then once I do it, I always wonder why I ever thought it was hard because it seems super easy.

How does one decide the best path forward? This is where I often get stuck. Follow your heart, follow your head, listen to your gut? The most difficult thing, for me at least, is to look back and know I did what I thought was best only to realize I had it wrong. But, we can only hope we have an opportunity to set things right if and when the next opportunity presents itself.

I try to get in a positive state before I strategize. That way, I can at least assume my mind isn’t being shaped by a negative worldview, which would tend to close me off from perceiving positive possibilities.

Combining the reality of what exists with the reality you want to create, all while acknowledging there’s a path that reveals itself along the way. Nice

I have recently realized the many mental fabrications I create, believe, and live. It is liberating to let them go. I was expecting you to like the post about Schopenhauer. It has many of the types of sentences you like. Cheers, and thanks for stopping by.

I have been trying to stop drinking for 20 years. I kept fighting it. And as soon as I stopped trying to stop, I stopped. So weird.

There’s so many times that something similar has happened to me. I know about someone who did the same with smoking.
