Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Slowly starting to realize that after reading about this topic! Also strangely started getting that “skill” back after reading classic children’s book from the 70s haha

Thanks for the insight 😄

That’s amazing to hear! I’m sure spending time in their world is so refreshing! 😁😁

Wow that definitely has merit! The people in my life have a huge impact on how I see and experience the world

Lately I’ve been curating my social groups more intentionally

Thanks for sharing this!

If he’s anything like me, seasonal affective disorder got me stuck in down during winter. I perk up in spring/summer, though I give every day my best

Triggered a lot of people's pain bodies with this one 😂

really good post about this subject

Wow that definitely makes sense

I feel that when I’m with my younger cousins and spending time with them definitively feels like I’m spending hours in a world that’s not mine

Thanks for reminding about that perspective!!

Ty for taking the time sharing this

You can work every day on finding the amazing. Just look for it. Humans are good at finding what they look for, so you just have to train yourself to look for it.

I felt the same way, but now I see it in my toddler son and I feel it again. No, it’s not as strong and doesn’t last as long, but every once in a while, I get that feeling like a flicker of a flame and I feel pure joy again.

The world still amazes me, even the seemingly mundane. It’s people that break my spirit. What people prioritize as important in their life as they get older just bums the hell out of me. I often feel very alone even though I’m around my family most of the time.

I’m the Corps we called something like this a Short timers calendar. This seems more like a countdown to death.

My kid wanted to play, so he grabbed a toy sword and a bow and arrow. We went outside to fight the bad guys. I thought as a grown man I haven't pretended to play in 20 years. It was wonderful to be a child again. He tells me things all the time that my robot brain tells me that can't happen or be. I am learning to let it go and enjoy the fun again. My suggestion is to be around some kids. They know how to have fun.

Works for me actually. I just stop thinking about break fast. Specially during week ends. I get to save some extra cash for skipping breakfast.

It’s amazing

This. And a great kids book reminds us to stop and smell the roses. We usually are in such a hurry to go from one thing to the next to the next, which is really easy to do with work and kids. One way to combat this is to schedule your own time. Maybe it is a gym session on your lunch break or on your way home. Maybe it is getting up 30 min early and using that time to meditate or plan out and organize your day.
