Post 103: It's the Same No Matter What

January 04, 20231 min read

No matter what happens in life, I always have the same decision: where do I point my focus.

Let’s say I find out my partner of twenty years cheated on me once nineteen years ago. I can choose to leave them and be angry and upset for the rest of my life. Just as easily, I can say we have had a wonderful twenty years despite that and look forward to the next fifty.

What if magic actually happens and somehow I find out the exact date and time of my death twenty years from now. I can spend the next twenty years afraid and trying everything I can think of to change my fate. Or I can spend my life knowing the next twenty years are guaranteed and I can do anything I want in them.

This choice is present in every situation, every time. What I choose to focus on (consciously or not), defines how my life feels.
