I have a lovely life

I've just re-noticed something i think is worth passing along

When something becomes important to us, we have the tendency to take it too seriously, and this has the effect of making it hard.

When something is important to us, there often seems to occur a mental shift, where now we feel we must resolve the issue, or, or what? or some really bad thing is goinng to happen. But now we have exactly the wrong mind and emotional set, for creating the resolution we want.

Maybe we need to lighten up?

It aint all that serious. In not too long a time, most likely less than an hundred years or so, we're all going to be quite dead, at least as far as these bodies we currently occupy are concerned. I think maybe that's a good perspective to keep in mind, to keep us from taking any particular problem too seriously.

I'll be dead
You'll be dead
And beyond that we don't know what lies ahead
Though we suppose we might know
It could come as a blow
That it aint so
But hell, who knows
Would it hurt to laugh a little
And more, go with the flow.

Btw, i sure aint saying don't go after what you want. I'm just saying, if you're being too serious 'bout it' It just seems to me, you might be shooting yourself in the proverbial foot, so to speak.

I mean, how can you be happy if you're too serious? Or, how can you be calm or at peace, if you're too serious?

Just saying,

Have a great day
