Not terribly riveting, but, it is what it is.

I reckon it comes down to defiantly refusing to let other people’s disappointments, become the measure of our own.

p.s. Please blog more often.

Thank you for Zura, Vila. Thirty minutes of uninterrupted writing time — no blog, no email, no nothing — can be so very productive. On the weekends, when I’m home with my toddler son, it’s often the case that the only time during the day I have to write is when he naps. So being able to work meaningfully for short periods of time (an hour or less) is essential for me. I’m happy that you’ve reminded me of this as I head into a long holiday weekend.

Aw, thank you so much Vila H. for your nice remarks, I’m really, really very touched. :)))

I think there is a fine line between striving healthily and detrimentally, and the trick is to make sure one keeps to the good side of that line. I find that the typical overachiever views themselves as lazy and and not actually achieving enough, and so they are harder on themselves as a result. They believe that committing normal mistakes are inexcusable for them, people who “should know better”. but of course too much of this kind of thinking, and one runs the risk of turning into an asshole where they can’t let anything go or be happy with anything.

The body will always revolt in some manner letting the mind know, and that’s when it’s time to listen and regroup. So again, the idea is to be a little more self-forgiving than one thinks one should.
