I get that life is a journey and that each step brings a new learning which, in turn, moves us closer to being enlightened beings. But why does it have to be so bloody hard sometimes?
Seriously, life is short and sometimes I just don’t have time to be wading through endless lessons about life. Just enlighten me … now! Isn’t there an online course I can do?
I’m not serious. I have some idea of what it’s going to take to get there.
One of the lessons is about letting go …
Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.
It’s hard though, because I have many more years on those around me at the moment and I still struggle with this. In fact I think I needlessly held onto anger at least 3 times before breakfast today.
I’m hoping what we all had reinforced today (not learned, because I think we all already knew this) was that we need to take the first step — either let go or do something in a constructive manner. No firing barbs.
ACT are a good team … consistently strong attack. NSW were strategic and targeted the opportunities that we left open for them. Next round, we need to have closed the opportunities and developed our own method to expose their cracks.
We need to push our own boundaries though. We can’t be tentative and we should only be safe when we really have to. It means being strong both of mind and body. We need to have that desire or need to take what comes our way and add more to it every time.
We have the ability, I think we just need the belief … and the drive.
I think my hair will keep residing … just not on my head. It left me some time ago and moved on.
