here we go

It's been a while since I've posted so this one might be a little different. Things have changed dramatically in my life. I have come to many realizations about what life is and what people do with it. I have learned from countless people that have crossed my path. I am happy to say I finally got a job. I enjoy my time there as much as one could love an entry level job. No matter what though, whoever tells you, "if you do what you love, then you'll never work a day in your life" they are assholes. It is called work for a reason. If it weren't, it would be called play. Some people get payed to play but that is unlikely for everyone. Get over it. It is a part of life that the majority of us have to work to make the life they want to live. Luckily, I have the great fortune of working for a company who treats their employees with the utmost respect and gratitude. I couldn't be happier with them. Nevertheless, even if I didn't like it, nobody cares if you hate your job. It will only get worse if you do nothing about it and it will bring you down. Do what you have to do. It's that simple. Just get it done. You want to make millions trading stocks? Go and get the education and qualifications you need to do that. If you want to just get by and have more free time, that's fine too. But complaining will never solve a problem and neither will bottling it up. Life is not a major motion picture. There will not always be a happy ending. There are hard times that last longer than 1.5 hours. If you do nothing about a problem you have then you will never solve it. If you can't talk about a situation because you have to protect people from reality then there is something bigger than that causing it. When you lose the ability to talk about your feelings, you lose the ability to have them. There is a fine line between sanity and insanity. The problem is never know which side your on, you just hope it's the right one. Bad things happen. It is a fact of life. There will forever be deaths occurring in our lifetime. People you know personally, will die before you, Fact. Does it suck? Yes, it can be terrible. But, to not celebrate the life that those people lived is an absolute disgrace. (Don't worry, nobody died to cause this rant, it's just an example). When you bottle up all this "stuff" you become unstable to the point where anything will throw you off kilter and then BAM brain hemorrhage, dead. Does that sound happy and sugar coated? No, because it's reality. Instead of seeing only good things and sugar coating the rest, why don't we work on fixing the bad? Survey says....because it's hard. Sugar coating is much easier. Agreed, but it can have much more severe consequences. Let's stop walking on eggshells here and live life to the fullest. If you aren't living on the edge, you aren't living. This is not another day. This is a new beginning. Merry Christmas.
