Life is a bumpy ride and there is no law that says that you should wear a crash helmet. You can go about it as reckless as you like, you can crash and burn, you can live life on the edge, you can be the most careful person that ever trod the face of the earth. Nobody will test you or ask you if you would rather live your life differently.
The point is that life is what you put into it. If you want to put J-Man or Ken into it, that’s fine, but be prepared that another person has his/her own agenda and it may collide with yours. Interaction with people is essentially fun and sometimes painful but more importantly it entails unpredictability. You can be swept away, pushed around or fall head over heels. Take your precautions. As much as you love somebody, don’t put yourself aside and believe that you will be awarded for your selflessness unless you look for a career in the religious business.
In other words:
Don’t run around like a headless chicken
Don’t network for others if there’s nothing in it for you
Let them solve whatever problem they have – it’s not like they offer their help when you have a problem
The most difficult one however is not to let anyone knock you so much off your feet that you lose your footing. Nobody deserves that kind of attention from you apart from yourself.
The trick is to find small havens of freedom and tranquillity and happiness. Perhaps a crash helmet isn’t necessary then. Small steps at a time and remember that nobody will thank you for dying from stress and anxiety.
With these words it’s time to leave you with my small treasures of serenity and hand over the blog to the rightful owners.
A cat can drive you nuts, love you beyond belief and leave you devastated after 18.5 years together
Feeding ducks in the park whether it’s summer or autumn
Beauty and a sense of humour in architecture can leave a smile on your lips whenever you see it
Watching a nephew grow up can put life into perspective
