A lot of people have overlooked great things because they were waiting for something better to come along.
My ancestors had a phrase that has become the popularized saying “today is a good day to die”
Hokahey
Crazyhorse being the badass he was, would yell it when charging into battle.
It’s not really meant as “time to die” but more of I am ready! I am brave. I am strong. I love my family and they love me. If today is the day, so be it. I am ready for judgement!
This dad is practicing what it means.
The Lakota were the badasses that forced the US Army to surrender. The Dakota areas would be a much different place if they had the numbers to stop people from using the Oregon Trail.
So the Klingons using that phrase has always been a lovely thing
if they had the numbers to stop people from using the Oregon Trail.
They should’ve tried more dysentery. Worked on me.
I do this with my daughter while waiting for her therapy appointment. We sit in the park across the street and eat a happy meal while chatting. I don’t know if it’s the therapy or the time together but she’s so much more balanced since we started this I’m good paying for the therapy even if it’s our conversations that are making that difference.
It’s one of the highlights of my week, and I’m about to leave the office to go grab her for it.
Well done, OP, for realizing it in the moment!
It’s actually pretty easy. Look around you and be grateful for what you have and stop thinking about all the things you don’t have.
If you’re waking up on a rainy Monday and not hating your life, you’re doing pretty well.
That’s what I do, look out the window through the rain to watch my brand new Brabus G-Wagon
And if you work hard, someday you’ll be able to afford a really nice car.
The only time that exists is the present. Enjoy it!
Don’t live in the past or the future, they existed and they will exist, but they don’t exist. Only the present does.
