Enjoy Yourself – All The Time, No Matter What

ByMatthew

We’re not always doing what we want to do (even if we don’t know what we want to do).

So: we don’t know what we want to do, but we know it’s not this, and we’re dissatisfied.

Or.

We’re clear about what we want to be doing and where we want to be, but we’re not there yet. And we’re unhappy.

Why not be happy, where you are, what you’re doing?

Or at least grateful for where you are and what you’re doing? (I’ve found a quick “reality check” will remind me that I have much to be grateful for… )

I believe I have found a way to embrace my current reality, even though it isn’t what I want. And, honestly, I haven’t taken the time to get clear on what I want (because, I think, I’m afraid to “name” it, causing the excuses and “ignorance” to evaporate into the ether).

I know that there’s a big gulf between where I am and where I want to be, but I am bound and determined (pleasantly and non-graspingly so… ) to enjoy myself now, wherever I am, whatever I am doing.

    No one can defeat us unless we first defeat ourselves. – Dwight Eisenhower Many people think “defeat” is losing, or being beaten. It’s really not. Defeat is when you stop working. When you stay down when you can get back up. Defeat is not trying because it seems too hard, or it didn’t work out…

    When you’re going somewhere you’ve never been to, what do you do? Do you just wing it? Do you just start driving and figure it’ll all work out? Of course not, but that’s what so many people do with their lives. Sure, they might have a vague plan, likely a mash-up of family and social…

    Everything hard was impossible, until someone did it. What’s “impossible” for you? What was once “impossible” for you? The only thing you need is to believe you can start. You don’t have to believe you can finish, or succeed, just some clarity that it’s worth starting. After you start, just keep going until either 1)…
