Living

Many books, videos and other tools aim at helping people develop a helpful attitude toward life and difficulties. I recommend developing an attitude based on a life as a path of adventure.  When we awake in the morning, we are beginning a day that has never been lived before.  If you want, you can emphasize similarities between what happens one day and what happens another.  Some people hope that the basic list of daily events doesn't change and that the quality and details of the day stay very much like what happened on other days.


But if you are old enough, you can remember what happened five or ten years ago.  It may be obvious that these days are quite different.  You can compare today or yesterday with days just after you were born, or as you started school or in the first days after agreeing to marry your partner.  


There has never been another you with your body, your hopes and doubts, interests and fears and there never will be. 


Being you is an adventure!!
