I don't share the construct but I say: whatever works. Mine is hate, which serves equally to get one out of bed and through the day.

Sometimes we're so caught up in the details that we forget to look at the big picture. It's like logging into Analytics and only looking at yesterday's data rather than the month's. Shit happens, and when it does, self-doubt automatically starts to creep in. We can swat it in its initial stage, before it spreads too much, by putting the situation in perspective. Will this thing matter in a month or year? Does it change my big goal? Most likely it won't. Once that is realized, the negative situation is externalized. It becomes simply a weed that we can pull out and proceed to work on our garden. Awesome video, thanks to you and your mom, Oleg Hey Tim,

I just do not see why someone should be happy just for theck of it. It may be true that I have my health and I accomplished some things. But past success is no indication of present satisfaction or future happiness. It gets sort of annoying to have people to tell me to be happy with what I already have. I am bored with what I have. I want to accomplish new things and do more without putting in a ton of work and sacrificing. I am not like others. I do not want to work hard to gain more. I would love for someone to give me what I want. Working hard for something does not make me appreciate it more. I actually feel a sense of dissapointment and ambivalence when I wait and work. Life is too short for me to lie and tell myself to be happy with what I have. I would be happier with more! I became even more depressed after watching this video.
