The sun sets on another day…
Sunset brought rain, rain, and a little snow. I watched the rain fall and felt good about ti melting the previous snowfall, then enjoyed the moment as the sky turned dark.
I haven’t talked about things for a while. Of course my approach to life is very similar to so many others but I tried to make it a little catchy.
Of course we all have choices. Those choices define who we are and we can take things in a positive manner or take things in a negative manner or just take things as they come. For me, the defining moment was the idea of not whining about our past nor pining about our future but instead defining every day is the best day possible.
I’ve written about this often but as I began understanding more and more about this approach I realized it had been done before. Just approached in different ways. The secret to life isn’t necessarily to come up with the perfect new solution but instead to come up with a solution that hasn’t had super efficacy and present it in a way that people understand and maybe become more effective at it. I have also written about this a lot.
There are lots of tags on 29,000 sunsets and you will find define, don’t whine, don’t pine, and several others that may help you see a list of approaches that work. My simple statement is don’t whine about the past, it has already happened and you can’t change it, instead learn from it and make it a guide on how to do things better or how to avoid things that you should have. Don’t pine about the future, it hasn’t happened yet, who knows when it’ll happen well it just happened again. The future is constantly coming upon us but we have no way of knowing exactly what will happen except by doing the last approach. Define your day every day as the best day it can be. Don’t sit back and wait for the pass to catch up to you or for the future to come to you but instead grab a hold of life and make it the best life that you can. Make your life amazing and define it as an amazing life. I’m sure that sounds easy. Life is sometimes like that.
So as the sun sets on another day, I think I am defining myself halfway decent. I’ve faced a few setbacks and I find a way to get past them. I will keep pushing and keep overcoming each and every day and define my days as the best they can be, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and keep on defining…
