Just a few thoughts

 ....yourself and everything else in life?  I ended one of my previous posts by writing nobody is going to make you feel relevant if you are not going to feel relevant yourself,  nobody is going to make you feel important if you don't feel important yourself.  And that's true about taking yourself seriously too- nobody is going to take you seriously if you don't take yourself seriously enough ( now how much of enough is enough is a seperate question). And that means to some extent, you do need to take yourself seriously ( but not too seriously either maybe,  will come to that). What about the other things in life? Career,  people,  hobbies,  status... you know stuff like that? In an other post,  i mentioned "its all about allocation. ". And that's a good thumb rule. The more serious you take something,  the more time you allocate to it. This means two things simultaneously- if you take something remotely seriously,  you need to give...

 I must have mentioned on this blog somewhere and probably more than once that the most important thing is..."to have something to look forward to". And I think that's so true. But if one can't find that thing,  worry not.  There's a second best thing.  What if you can find things that you do NOT look forward to,  or are things that you don't really enjoy but are things that have to be done or stuff that one has to just make it through.  What you can look forward to,  is for those type of things to get over.  Be and done with.  Can be anything from the very mundane to the important. Pretty sure most of us have those things at various points. And for them to get over is something to look forward to. In a weird sort of way,  both having something to look forward to, and having something you DO NOT look forward to have the same sense of anticipation. In effect , its the same thing that, in a way,  you are indeed having something to loo...

Life can be viewed as a series of games that we play: some, because we like playing them,  some because we think we are good at it,  some because we are put in the field and forced to play and others,  well because we are just bored and have to play them to keep ourselves occupied. Single player games where we are competing only against ourselves or chasing a score. Multi player games where we are competing with others,  and team games where are both competing and cooperating with others.  One push back could be that the rules of a game are usually objective but the rules of the games within life rarely are. Maybe,  maybe not.  But many of the times could it be that,  we just have the ignorance of the rules of the games that we are playing? The games we play change as we trudge along the path of life.  We figure out what we are good at and what we aren't.  We just aren't wired to play games that we aren't good at and keep losing.  S...
