You get that too?
Yup! Getting olde...@ Lydia - LOL! You get that too?<br />Yup! Getting older sure changes one's perspective on life :)<br /><br />@ Pixie - I know how talented and funny and loving and generous you are.<br />I wish some how I can lend you my eyes and let you see how much you have to offer to the world and to yourself.<br />Don't let the pettiness of life drag you down and kill your spirit.<br />My advice: Take that pain and turn it into creative work.<br />Don't let it destroy your spirit. Pour it into your work. Use it like a fuel instead.<br />I know life has given you some lemons lately.<br />Be thankful - you can make lemonade now :)<br /><br />PS - you don't need to apologize to me now or ever - I don't have an ego (almost)<br /><br />@ Argent - Absolutely!<br />I prefer small, gradual and consistent change that create permanent habits, rather than a huge change that create just a temporary effect.<br /><br />@ Quantum - See, we all do the same thing; we use our resources to solve problems.<br />What I am trying to advocate here is to use our resources to create our destiny instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577023239841176697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-27632512498524634542009-09-11T15:35:37.927-07:002009-09-11T15:35:37.927-07:00I've no need for pie-in-the-sky instant soluti...I've no need for pie-in-the-sky instant solutions to my problems, just that I use my mind and resources to solve any problem that comes my way.Quantum_Fluxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383025356536602044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-25039380813412026452009-09-11T13:34:11.222-07:002009-09-11T13:34:11.222-07:00This post really strikes a chord with me. It real...This post really strikes a chord with me. It really is later than you think and if we want to take that control, we have to start sooner rather than later. Going along with the dieting analogy for a bit, I would say that it might be best to start off with smaller, more manageable changes first rather than try to do a commando raid on truth and get everything at once. I might try to take one day and see if I can identify where control could be wrested back. I might not be able to do the wresting, but it would be an interesting and possibly illuminating exercise, I think. Thatnks for this though-provoking topic and I really like the quotation at the top as well.Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-43878214395224206722009-09-11T05:33:15.895-07:002009-09-11T05:33:15.895-07:00So glad that i popped in and read this post - you ...So glad that i popped in and read this post - you always get me thinking.<br /><br />A lot of people would probably call me pessismistic and miserable - i prefer to think that i am realistic: positive thinking isn't going to make a difference when i go to a job interview that has already been filled internally, nor is it going to improve my current job<br /><br />So sometimes its hard to try and be positive because you get worn down by the things around you - like if you knew your precice length for your life would you change the way you live?<br /><br />Ideallistically maybe - because you'd want to do all the things you only talk of doing, but realistically you'd still have to have a roof over your head and thus bills to pay<br /><br />The upshot is that we are never in control of our own destinies - not even the mega rich eventually, because we are subject to the butterfly effect that is modern life<br /><br />PS: sorry about this response - i was in a really good mood this morning, then everything that happened to me for the next few hours was unuterably shit :)Don't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-6021659069034673602009-09-11T00:37:31.010-07:002009-09-11T00:37:31.010-07:00who after all, has the time to be himself? ...... ...<em>who after all, has the time to be himself?</em> ...... What a marvelous question, and, as you point out at the end, we'd best find the time for it because none of us is getting younger. <br />Really, this is a great post...more like a mini thesis on being.
