Mondays with Alfie

I will try to write something every monday. Don't come banging my door if I don't. I said I try, didn't I?


We do not decide what happens to us, no matter how we procrastinate. All the crap that we can make things happen if we try hard enough, that if only we BELIEVE...all BS. Ultimately, the ancient saying, 'man proposes, GOD disposes', still apply. Unless, you are talking about really making things happen. For example, smashing a bottle on yer own head, yes, you have succeeded in giving yourself a broken and bleeding head.

Therefore, since we cannot decide what happens to us, let's decide what we can do about it. We can decide how we take it, how we go on from there, how we tweak life's decisions to our favour.

THAT is probably what they mean, because if we can subscribe to that kind of thinking, we will have the ability to 'make things happen', without having to REALLY make things happen. Just go with the flow. Just see the positives and move on.

Pretty easy? Not really. Support from friends and family becomes the key ingredient.

I'm not going to quote examples on how to deal with life. Because simply put, I am not old enough to teach. I can put across the idea, the direction to think, that is all. We all have our own lives to live. It won't be fair to you, if I want have you live your life, my way.

Life's but a sport and a past time...
