Thanksgiving Thoughts 2006 (WARNING: hippy dippy) - GoFuckYourself.com

Halcyon · 11-23-2006, 12:32 PM

I may be more thankful than I've ever been in my life.

And it has little to do with the actual status of my life.
My life *is* amazing right now, but I am learning more and more that it is not the circumstances that matter, but my attitude towards them.

And that attitude is something that you have to practice. Like the piano or Yoga.

Every moment of my life, BOTH the following statements are true:
ONE: "My life is difficult. I struggle in relationships and finance. I fall short of my potential. I am insecure and undisciplined. I am doomed to fail"
TWO: "My life is blessed. I learn more about myself every day. Every moment is another opportunity to experience love and the miracles of this planet. I am exactly where I am supposed to be. Everything will work out."

Both those perspectives are true. And focusing on the more negative does nothing to avoid future negativity. Even so, it takes work (and frequent reminders) to maintain the headspace of #2.

I have to practice seeing the glass as half full.

Eventually, the presence of any water at all seems miraculous.
Someday I hope to see what my grandpa told me years ago when I said his glass was always half full. He said, "It's a beautiful glass."

And, my glass *is* beautiful. I have endless reasons to be thankful.

Life. Health. Family. Friends. Work. Art. Play. Love. Breath.

And I am thankful for you and the connection we share.

Thank you for being a part of my blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Love,
Halcyon

Thank you! Life's too short *not* to live on the fringe. IMHO.

Very nice post

A couple of years ago I decided to embrace the latter perspective on life, and it has worked out very well for me. It is very hard to maintain sometimes, but worth it.

Thanks for sharing...

?The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.?

Exactly. That's why it takes reminders and practice to stay on track. Happy Thanksgiving!

Honesty is freedom! Sometimes I swear I'm bi polar... I swing back and forth between doomed and euphoric. The positive always prevails though! Love makes everything worth while.

I'm thankful for so many things... but mainly, for the endless opportunities life gives us ALL.

Hal, the glass is always completely full... Half air, half water. Both are substances of power in their own right and forces to be reckoned with.

Happy thanksgiving.
