Musings

If our emotions are dependent on measurement and contrast, we will continually come up short, and either exist in perpetual dissatisfaction at best, or unhappiness at worst.Β  But we have the ability to see it differentlyβ€”as an opportunity to weave our stories and pursue our dreams.

At that point, it becomes a blessed game, instead of a joyless series of arbitrary tests.

  1. Everything in life comes with challenges and opportunities. It is up to each to accept or decline. ☺

  2. We live each day and write our own stories. Experience both good and bad forms another chapter.

  3. As Number 71 in years comes around I have concluded ‘It an’t so bad’ is a good fall back position when facing a disappointment.
    You can work up from there.

    1. That’s one of the most wisest things I’ve ever heard! Indeed, you can achieve satisfactionβ€”it is what it is, things are what they areβ€”wherever you are so you can clear your head and get on with the task.

  4. Thanks. Nothing like a few disappointments to give you ‘range’.
    (The alternative being in the words of us supporters of the UK soccer team Aston Villa- underachievers supreme…..’It could be worse, you know,’πŸ˜„)

    1. What’s strange is when folks go through the pain and they lose range, they withdraw into themselves and just become predictable shells that run the same programs and are generally miserable. Always weirds me out.

  8. I agree with you, that kind of contrast can be helpful. I’ve also seen it go like: “My 20 year old self would be disgusted with me right now.” I try to just stay in the mindset where I either find the joy or don’t compare at all. 😊

  9. Why worry your personality is your sail, your energy the breeze and your on the highest medium to express yourself! Success and satisfaction rarely co-exist, it is all about perception and i agree more carbs to balance your mood! The love of a good woman! master your orgasm or let me manifest your dreams for you!🌹
