3.25.16 Sad things

     One of the saddest things I've encountered is when we humans rail against ourselves, and yearn somehow to have been more than we are. If we consider the forest, or history, or simply look around, what we discover is that not everyone is everything. Has everything. Gets to do everything. Accomplishments, fame, partners, lost weight - if you listen to those humans around you, you discover that the fantasy list is endless. 
     Prevalent also are our lies to ourselves. If I had been better, I would be married now. If I was more gifted, I would have a huge income. Be published. Be traveling the world over. Be healthy right now.
     And so? Our choice. Be kind to yourself, if you want.
     The Bathtub Rule? We can either spend our time right now feeling badly about what was not, or we can be filled with feeling such good about who we are and have been.
