The sun sets on another day…
Another snow filled sunset, with the clouds dumping loads of white stuff all over. Yes it is pretty, yes it is fun, is it pretty fun?
The idea of acceptable is very unique to me. So many people want to define acceptable as long as it applies to them. This can mean there’s either an acceptable acceptable or an unacceptable acceptable or something that is unacceptable that is unacceptable but somebody is accepted it anyway. It all seems rather confusing.
I was talking to someone about what made me a monster. There was a situation that was an unacceptable unacceptable and because I could not accept it but could not change it I decided I had to change significantly. My change was based on training and learning about situations and ways to deal with them. No I’m not perfect as a monster but I am a monster because of it all and because of the unacceptable unacceptable.
For me I think we should move towards lives that set aside the unacceptable yes and move towards not only acceptable but desirables. The desirables are much more amazing and I feel strongly we should strive to stay in that realm and kind of put the acceptable solver on a shelf and the unacceptable in a garbage can.
Our problem is defining that. Desirables may include things like a new car or even a reliable car, a warm house, and someone to share time with that makes us feel complete. Keep an eye on that word complete. As we move towards the acceptable range having a place to stay and a car that might work and a person that doesn’t treat us always like we’re a useless piece of junk could be acceptable. The unacceptable could involve of rusted Hulk that won’t move, a house where it snows inside, and someone who verbally physically or emotionally abuses everything that defines us. That would be yucky.
We then have to go off into the realm of defining what we want out of life and how we will achieve that goal and working towards that goal in a positive manner. I like to think that people want desirables and the acceptable and unacceptable will fall away but I know a few people that put up with things that they shouldn’t.
What is your idea of desirable? What is that golden chalice that sits high above beckoning you? What is your idea of acceptable? Can you think of a situation that you were in now that is just acceptable that you would like to move towards desirable? Have you ever been in unacceptable situation? Have you ever defined that unacceptable situation and tried to move away from it? Do you think you are able to see that you are in an unacceptable situation if you are in that situation?
Something to think about.
How about we all move too desirable. Sounds like a good idea.
So as the sun sets on another day, I feel acceptable. Some places I am desirable. There are some things that are unacceptable that I am moving towards acceptable and then we’ll move towards desirable. There are some things that I just don’t define right now and I ride along and find a way. Find a way with me and make the world a better place, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and live acceptably…
