After being miserable and ungrateful for things almost my whole life, I finally feel like my life is consistently great. I really think I realize now how amazing my life has always been, but how focused i was on the shit that didnt matter - the stuff that was temporary. I spent my time worrying about all of it instead of focusing on what I had. I’ve experienced so much in such little time and have so much more yet to, and I’ve never been more grateful, excited, at times fearful but eager for it all. I love my life.
No questions, just want to thank you for this post. I’ve never been off the mainland USA, and while things are definitely interesting right now, I have to say, I’ve come to recognize over the last few years how incredibly good life really is, and focusing on what I have and what’s right has been incredibly mood-altering, mind-changing, and in small but distinctively notable ways, life changing, for me. It took a lot of me getting in my own way, to learn to get out of my own way, and I’m still learning; and more importantly, unlearning, not following up bad paradigms of “everything is a catastrophe, woe is me!” that are super - abundant right now. I notice things, obviously, I just choose to redirect my energy and attention to how much I really have, and how incredibly fortunate I’ve been, all things considered.
Agreed! More people could likely realize this.
