RE: It's Not About the Money

in The MINIMALIST • 2 years ago

Oh I hear you. I look back and can't believe how much I had. And I still thought I was struggling financially.

It's so interesting, huh?

Mine began with the court debacle so I was a year ahead of COVID and it's impact. I watched people go through the process. Brutal in many ways.

All I could share was that it's quite wonderful. In the end. If you use the experience to adjust, instead of trying to keep things the same. Fight the change, I mean.

In many ways... losing everything was the best thing that ever happened to me. As much as it was the worst :)

Isn't life incredible ?

I choose to try and take the learning and make good from it. But I come from a family of natural Stoics. Big time.

    Deepest secret of humanity, it's never enough!

    Some thing must fall apart and make room for the new ones, we can't have it all and we shouldn't!

      Bring back the Stoics!

      But with the ability to see what we are in more clearly so we can march on trying to change it. Yeah

      Found this, this morning... (fakebook link - you've been duly warned - but it's worth it!)

      "Hold this thought: Right when you are most defeated--suicidal, perhaps--exhausted, positive of perpetual failure: this is when the epiphany is likely to arrive. One needs to be beaten down to think, and to think so as to escape. To escape death or boredom or the second act that simply will not do as you wish. Or the marriage that is stalled. Whatever is bearing down on you is a great teacher. Calm down and listen and crawl from beneath it a better person.

      Haven't read nothing better said than this in a while!

        :D Yep. Fakebook it is and shall remain until people aren't afraid to be themselves. But I suspect Facebook punishes them if they try so...

        It's pretty good, huh? Worth the daily visit to stay i touch with some good people who aren't ready to shift yet. <3
