Dear Son, You May Be Asking How Is It Possible To Find Blessings In Hardships
Dear Son, watch nature. Learn from nature. Pay attention. Every living thing has an enemy, even those at the top of the food chain. Man is his own enemy. Like I said, pay attention. The first rule of nature is survival of the fittest.

Happiness Is Your Nature
“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.” — Ramana Maharishi
Yesterday’s post spoke of escape, implying that when faced with an overwhelming obstacle, we may run from it, try to avoid it, ignore it, medicate it, deny it, etc.
We are always going to be faced with life’s challenges. And the proverbial mid life crisis is more or less a universal phenomenon for virtually all adults.
We get to a place, don’t like it, and then think we can take a short cut to move past it. Maybe. Maybe some can. I certainly couldn’t.
However, when I started to look inside for the answers instead of outside, my life began to transform.
Consider this, there is infinite joy to be had, to be discovered, to be shared. I mean, happiness is our nature.
When I dream without any limits, I dream of others having this wonderful mid life celebration, instead of the proverbial midlife crisis.
Busiest Day of the Year?
“Tomorrow is always the busiest day of the year”. — Jonathon Lazear
Ain’t it the truth? At least that’s the way it feels. Why?
You may feel differently. But for me, it seems like tomorrow is “the day” that, “I’ll finally be able to catch up with things“. So I race hard to get so much done.
Time marches on and there is simply more to take the place of that which has been done. Ever heard the phrase, “busy beaver“? Beavers work hard every day, repairing their dam, fixing their den, looking for food, etc. Seems there is always lots of work to do.
What’s the solution? If I knew that, tomorrow would be looking like a vacation day, eh?
Mid Life Crisis?
Mid Life Crisis? Mid Life Celebration?
Two choices. Maybe there are more, but it only seems like two that are obvious.
So if you had a choice, which would you pick?
No brainer, eh?
Yep, no brainer. Then why are so many unhappy?
Because life is hard. Sometimes, it even feels impossible.
