Gratitude vs. Disappointment in Hard Times

I’ve been thinking about joy. How it is a choice.

The world is topsy turvy right now. I’m unhappy watching or reading the news. I don’t want to be “entertained” into denial or submission. I want to be aware but I also want to enjoy the gifts I have. It is a precarious, fragile tightrope walk these days.

Is it ok to be multi -disciplined? Sure, but you may fail at some of it.

Trying and Failing doesnt make you a failure.

-I’m no singer. It’s a fact.Why talk about failures and missteps?

So often when we are young we get stuck on some criticisms someone said that made us think we were the failures.Trying hobbies, sports, and even jobs before settling on the one that really grabs us and demands our full attention is not wasted time and energy. Kind of like dating before your marry. You might date a little but at some point for some reason you decide to commit to that special someone.
