Sometimes I think life is just another story that I am
writing.
The more creative and innovative I am, the more unique it
can be. The secret seems to be never to
write myself into a corner.
The choices I make really do matter. A lot!
I try to use common sense, but more than that I look at the
people around me. When I was younger I
thought if I did what I’d learned as a child then all would be well. Now I can see how ineffective and even
hurtful a lot of those things were.
Being honest with myself is a big step towards finding happiness.
A reasonably intelligent person can fool a lot of
people. Other people, after all, want
to believe the best about me.
Unfortunately fooling other people doesn’t change what really is. If I overeat I still get fat. If I don’t get enough sleep I am more likely
to get sick and I never really perform at peak level. If I enable people the good feeling only lasts until they crash
again.
What are those lines from Henley’s poem? “I am the master of
my fate: I am the captain of my ship.”
They are true you know.
No one can really sail my ship for me no matter who I am. In the end only I can avoid the rocks or
choose which ports I want to land in, because those places don’t always exist
on other people’s maps.
