It's neither things being the way you'd like them to be, nor is it
things not being the way you'd like them
not to be which determines whether your life is
satisfying. Really! If you tell the truth about it,
your life isn't any more satisfying on sunny days than it is on
rainy days.
The way you'd like things to be (or not) has no bearing on whether
your life is satisfying. None.
It's neither having what you want, nor not having what you
don't want, which creates fulfillment for you.
William Randolph
Hearst
at one time was the sole purchaser of more than thirty
percent of all the art work entering the United States of
America. He could have (and could afford to have)
anything and everything he wanted to fuel his self-professed
addiction to collecting art. Yet his amassing anything
and everything he wanted and still wanting more, eloquently
emphasizes having
too much
is never enough (as
David Bowie
may have said).
It's neither a positive outlook nor a
negative outlook which makes a difference in the
circumstances of your life. Being all things to all
people fails as a strategy for making a lasting
difference, just as surely as the "No more Mr Nice
Guy!" strategy fails. Whether you have a positive outlook
or a negative outlook, things turn out the way they turn out
anyway. If you walk with the paupers in the
Fiji Islands,
Islands, you'll notice waaay more smiling faces than
on the
London
underground or on the New York subway or on the Chicago
"EL". A positive outlook doesn't improve impoverished
circumstances. A negative outlook doesn't
reflect
impoverished circumstances.
