Comment on Spreading the plague (of happiness) by adieu

I’ve had some sharp blows in my relatively short life, and that’s what it took to make me realize I’m writing my story, not someone or something else. I can choose my reaction to events. This is obvious when you see two people reacting differently to the same circumstances.

The other thought I’ve had that pertains to what you wrote is, what keeps us from living a life that satisfies us in the moment? Doesn’t it begin with our beliefs (about what we can and can’t do); doesn’t what we perceive as our reality shape our future, as well as what we experience right now?

I want to wake up every morning with a purpose that makes me feel secure, happy, fulfilled, and all the other good stuff.

Hey, thanks for the comment! Indeed, this is the response I’ve gotten on the other site I posted this on. Honestly, I was trying to convince myself to live this way as much as anyone else. So, yeah, I was kind of giving myself a pep talk and felt if I was going to put that much into it, I’d share it will others to achieve maximum benefit. I may be a little crazy (talking to myself), but at least I’m considerate, too! hehehehe

As for the theory versus practice thing, you are spot-on. I know from experience that this is a difficult skill to develop. I feel I’ve merely just began to develop this skill consciously and I suspect it will be a while before it becomes a habit..but I think it’s a worthy endeavor.

Tis better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all..? hahaha Sorry, I like butchering well-known sayings; it’s fun! :)

Beautifully said! It is so true, yet almost impossible to keep in mind…much less act upon in a meaningful way. If only there was a pill one could take each day . . . ;-)

I thoroughly enjoyed the interplay of ideas. I had to laugh at SpiritEv’s description of imagination and creativity coming from stillness. As I know how imaginative and creative ByLine can be and cannot imagine him ever being still…more of an 8-track than a Zen monk. But maybe I need to be still to imagine his stillness…

As in the poem by Rumi:
“I am only the house of your beloved,
not the beloved herself:
true love is for the treasure,
not for the coffer that contains it.”

@Lilith "...only two legs can be on the ground. Theoretically, at least." Depending on the height of the fulcrum, and/or the length of the user's legs. If the board be laid across a rolling pin, little more than butts may leave the ground. So it is with many things; i.e., placement is everything. Including, of course, being 'centered' to achieve equal swing. The "Scale(s) of Justice" so to speak. (Truly, 'tis a subject deep. ;-)

I infer you are indirectly inviting me over for tea and hot chocolate. As flattered as I might be, it will take more than that to convince me. Usually men who invite me over for various things can look back upon a long and entertaining history of broken noses, plates and glasses thrown at the wall or a simple but highly efficient array of well placed invitations to go back to where they lodged nine months without paying taxes.
Then again, maybe you are implying that I should be serving tea to my friends. Here again, I have to disappoint you. Most of my friends would not dare show up out of fear I might poison them.
Other than that, I am much fun to have around. Cute blog you’ve got here. I will be searching for an appropriate avatar picture and maybe I will even let the table thing pass and join.

PS In situations involving tables only two legs can be on the ground. Theoretically, at least.
