If there were no problems, we would be bored. The biggest problems people face are probably about love and money. I am not wealthy but, if I were (and not in love) I would give it up in SECOND for "love success". Plus, people think my husband and i are successful in the financial state b/c of our home, cars , posessions, etc. but we are in debt up to our ears. They have no idea, of course we dont go around. telling people, but my point is how many people "look" like they are successful financially and are fooling people? Seriously though I am so over caring about what anyone thinks, I just wanna be happy. |
excellent point. Where I live I see Cadillac Escalades, loaded, parked in apartment complexes. That makes zero sense to me. I drive a 10 year old car that gets 33-35 mpg, and live in a nice house.
I guess people's priorities are different. Some think short term, others long, and still others are convinced that they need to worry about what others think of them. If I had to worry about what others thought of me, I'd never get anything done. I'm just me; I try to be the best father and husband I can, and do the best I can at whatever endeavour I may attempt. At least that way I know I gave it my best, and if it worked, fantastic. If not, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Unless the 'not' part involves parachuting.
