I am a bit strange it seems. I don't feel good about the things I have done, but rather, I feel bad about the things I haven't done. In other words, my accomplishmenst don't make me happy, because I am too busy making myself unhappy thinking about all the things I haven't accomplished. Is this a common thing for human beings, or is it just me?
So, are we the things we do, or are we the things we don't do? Or, are we both? Being an intelligent thinking being is not exactly an easy thing. It's complicated. Well, I don't know how it is for you, but for me, it's definitely complicated.
No matter how many of my tasks and goals I manage to finish or reach, it's the ones I didn't, that stay on my mind. That just doesn't seem right. Although it's not exactly the same, it's a little like being unhappy after spending a month in Cancun, Mexico (a beautiful vacation resort), because you didn't go to Bora Bora (a beautiful island).
Maybe, just maybe, being happy has nothing to do with how we feel about ourselves, but how others make us feel, and maybe more importantly, how we make others feel. Just a thought. I could be wrong. I mean, I am only human.
