In this world all we need
to really understand ourselves and try and be the best human we can be. I get that no one is perfect and we have major or minor hiccup along the way. But what we need to do is have ourselves a slight long term plan nothing to fixed nothing to rigid so when we mostly inevitably fail at this we can have enough strength to say ‘hey the world has much more for me and everything happens for a reason’ this reason may be for better or for worse. I know I’ve spent many a time sitting and wondering about what might have happened if I had chosen different paths for my life to go upon. Like major issues in my current life like what if I didn’t have my girlfriend where and what would I be doing because she has influenced me in some of my most important decisions and put my sights kind of where they need to be. What if I was doing a different degree course, what if I never played golf or rugby would I be who I am probably not, and for this I think people need to be really grateful of how their lives are planned out. I have gained a lot of insight for how I should be looking at life through reading the Dalai Lama’s book titled the art of happiness and one quote that I think back to quite often is ‘ I believe that every one of us has the basis to be happy, to access the warm and compassionate states of mind that bring happiness. In fact it is one of my fundamental beliefs that not only do we inherently possess the potential for compassion, but I believe that the basic or underlying nature of human beings is gentleness.’ I really need to change a lot to become the person I would like future self to be as I am full of flaws which are quite horrible to deal with when reviewing how you see yourself. Moral is be happy, be kind, think about things, you’re life probably isn’t as bad as you think take a step back and consider your first world pains.
