I'm just finishing Into Thin Air, never read it before, and I see a lot of useful lessons in it. One: don't get hooked on mountain climbing. lol
I feel like I'm at high altitude and I've got to have the will to keep walking no matter what, to survive, to accept the reality and make the best of it, stay positive and not allow myself to dwell on could have beens. It is up to me to get through and when I do, I'll see the world more clearly and truly appreciate what I have been given.
Gosh ad, I sure understand where you are coming from.
Hope is powerful. I try to stop saying should have been or should be and move toward I wonder what my life could be like. That gives me a sense of hope instead of a sense of doom. Whenever I catch myself saying should's I try to start wonder of what my life will look like being content and I try to take steps in that direction.
I guess the question is what would your life look like being content and what would it take to move in that direction?
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
