what was is not what is
It’s hard to put aside the expectations that have accrued out of past experiences and desires and replace them with a new and improved version of dreams and desires based firmly in the present. But it happens. Joseph Campbell said we have to be prepared to set aside the life we had planned for the one that presents itself. But there is still a full archive of regret. I thought this was happening, or I believed my life was going in this direction, or I thought I was making the right decisions for my future – poof – all gone. How to deal?
Well plain and simple is what was isn’t what is – so get used to it.
And all those old dreams and regrets and desires, go ahead and lay your burdens down because you don’t need to be carrying that baggage to the next bus stop, they just drag you down.
This is my thought of the day – what was is not what is.
