You know, we spend a lot of time focusing on the bad things that happen on a daily basis. Lets face it, we perceive the bad to loom over the daily good that happens to us. I myself am no different. I was just explaining to my wife the current woes that I have at work. She inquired what brought on that exchange, because normally I try not to discuss work at home. However, I had to explain on this occasion that I find myself in a no win situation at work. It is to the point where I find myself dreaming, or should say having a nightmare, about the existing state of things for me at work. That in itself is yet another story.
Why am I telling you all of this? Well, it is to illustrate that the bad that occurs in life usually has a front-row seat in our lives. How often have you found yourself discussing what I would call a “feel good” story of human triumph? Because it is this human triumph and hope that I believe that keeps us going each day. It is knowing that each day we can possibly overcome any obstacles that present themselves to us each and every day. Each day is presented as a challenge, and no goal is too lofty.
Well, I am going to end my post here with an example of what I mean. This is a story about a gentleman who sells mobile phones during the day, and has a dream of singing opera. My human factor wants to believe this gentleman is exactly that…a gentleman. My factor also wants to believe he is a deserving humble individual as well. My human factor wants this gentleman to succeed because I need to believe that I too have a chance to do what I love. To him I say, “Bravo!”
Cheers!
Then finally there was pumpkin picking. It was really a fun time. We will probably visit some other pumpkin patches, but I feel a family tradition coming on.
