It hurts. It hurts right here directly in center of one's chest. This feeling of abandonment. It really makes one wonder: is it that I am the victim of some strange exterior entity that I just don't notice, or is it that there is an action, a behavior that is most unattractive to other people. It then makes you wonder if there is any worth in the foundations that makes you you, and so you begin to look down at your ego and see that it is shrinking. Your mind persists on even though it hurts because sorrow is an addiction that feeds off of victimization.
To be down this road many times leads to just an end that is not worth anything. The solution from what I have discovered is to make your decision, plant your foot in that direction, and just keep moving forward. Many people think that you can just ease the pain away by just thinking about something else, but not I. I find that the only way is to forcefully change the way I think about things, change the way I respond to my surroundings, change the way I handle a situation. The very being of thought must be seen from a different perspective, one that is more optimistic otherwise it will only connote thoughts of disparity upon myself which is dutifully unneccessary.
Sometimes I think about what makes a person successful. I know that happiness is usually associated with the term, and wealth as well. But which is really more fundamental to the aspirations that glorify success? Wealth isn't always the factor, most everybody knows this. Having just enough, with some to spare for insurance, and to be able to make the decision as to what is right for yourself and not for anybody else. I think this is the root nature that breeds success.
As for happiness, this I believe is a emotional characteristic that is felt once success is reached. So to have happiness does not mean success, but to have success you can have happiness. With this statement, does this mean that a person who is forced to live in the sewers can still find happiness? Yes because the perspective of success is accustomed to what that individual would constitute success to being.
With this thought then, does this mean success is long term or short term? Actuality, I believe success is not something you acheive and keep for as long as you have wealth. I think that success is merely a term that would describe a point in a person's life when they feel that their living conditions are adequate enough to be less worrying in contrast to the amount of things that are grand. Someone could be successful and then of course lose that success. Also, someone could consider their state of being successful, but then grow questionable as to whether that point in their life is really a success story that is worthy of their being. Thus, the idea of success could very well be the life that was once lived prior to accomplishing the lifestyle that is presented for that person as of the moment being. If this is the case, then really success is something that is uncertain and unspecific, therefore success is a label that one can use if they so choose to determine a state of being.
Anyways, at this point of my life, I can say that so far I have been successful overall with my plans.
