Look Back And Change For The Worse?

if you were to look back at your life, and think of an improvement

would you choose to be more lazy

more mediocre

obviously not

would you choose to have less?

to have things in lower quality?

to have things inferior?

obviously not

now, would you choose to be more “successful”, or would you choose to have had “more fun” ?

if you got “successful” — likely you’d wish you also had more fun

but typically if you had fun — you don’t feel like it justified “being a loser”

I don’t see a compromise

know that you REALLY DID YOUR BEST,

and in the same time — make sure you were ALWAYS SMILING

which could depend on you having had fun,

or perhaps it’s predominately a matter of attitude

An attitude of always smiling, always finding the bright side, always making the most out of every moment

This is yet another take on the false dichotomy of the “current happiness” vs “long term success”, this kind of nonsense that we believe is mutually exclusive

I believe the truth is — if you DID ABSOLUTELY YOUR BEST TODAY — then you both found profound joy and satisfaction — AND benefited yourself tomorrow
