let your disappointment be your inspiration

that thought came to me in the bath this afternoon. all my hurt feelings come down to the deep regret of disappointment. one of those recurring themes in my life -- obliterated by disappointment.

but i've been there before, and i've felt the deflating blow when my wildest dreams weren't even remotely realized. it feels really not good. and now i think i'm at a point where i know i have a decision to make -- i'm not automatically a victim that must suffer a sentence of grief. i know that feeling that grief is as much a decision as allowing myself to recognize the disappointment, and move on.

when i was in the bath, over and over in my mind, use my disappointment as inspiration, disappointment as inspiration. my subconscious, that i can tap into somewhat when stoned, wanted to subvert the situation by turning disappointment into inspiration.

at the least, if i had any previous doubts, i should let this disappointment provide me with a fresh perspective.

I agree man. Suffering is up to you. If you believe you are destined to suffer, then you will suffer. If you choose to believe that you are not going to let the suffering get to you then make a decision to change. Your life is how you want to live it. Find whatever is bothering you and fix it.
