My Stupid Chair
Take the sum of your experiences. Observe the time it took to accumulate what you are trying to actuate. Think of the breadth of knowledge you have access to because you have seen and experienced what you did. Appreciate the amount you have aggregated in the time you have been here.
Now take what is concerning you right now. This set should be much smaller than the entirety of what you just reflected on. Some of your experiences will have been resolved. Some may have been forgotten. But the lingering influences I guarantee will seem over whelming. It would be hard to decide how to prioritize your experiential landscape. What came first and what comes first? What can you count, and what counts? But given the total of your life, the risks you have undertaken and the struggles you endured, you should realize that your sum is much greater than the current set of concerns you have hovering above you at any given time in your life.
Your pain is not necessarily important. Your successes are minuscule. Both pain and success are irrelevant in the light of everything you have seen, done, and not done. So what matters then? What do you do without confines of a current context to give you perspective? The result is a fearless disposition. The outlook that doesn't take into account short term discomfort in realizing an aspiration that may seem out of reach prior to speculation.
Maybe.
