I don't like LJ
...........you can tell b/c i never update, ha.
i don't know why i need to write in this, i can pretty much talk to anybody that does read it, but i guess sometimes i can. For, honestly, no other reason than boredom. Most of the stuff I like to write is more personal than what I usually would, so.... ya.
So tell me, your life is going good, pick a time from months ago and ask yourself, what were your goals at that time to make your life better?
You observe whether you accomplished those goals or not. You observe how you accomplished or failed them, and how it has affected you since.
Have you made new goals to reach for? If so, where did they come from? If they are from your previous goals, then all it means is that you have divided up a much larger goal into sections, and your overall goal is not complete.
So instead, lets look at the complete goals. What have those led to? If you failed them, it would make sense it brought you dissapointment. So afterwards, you have the goal of correcting a previous failure, or it ends right there. But in one scenerio, your goal is givin to you.
If you accomoplished them, what has it led to? I would assume happiness, afterall, why would we be dissapointed if we failed our goals?
So the next question is, what do your happiness lead to? It leads you to live a happy life, a life where you have completed your goals.
The only way we understand happyness is that we know the conrast of unhappyness. If it was only one or the other it would just be normal.
Thus, we are happy after we accomplish our goals, because we have the memory of when they were incomplete and were not happy from it. But a memory is just that, a memory, and we are always making new ones. As time goes by, led by our new happy lives, we are making new, happy memories. Thus, we push our older unhappy ones further and further back.
We can continue to live our happy lives, but it will only be happy as long as we remember that past from which the happyness came.
So the question arrises, how far back in the past are you willing to live?
You must seek to develop your life further, you need new goals. The challenge is, how do you make new goals to make yourself happy with out jeopordizing your old ones.
..........more on this later
