I've given up on the big "meaning of life" questions. Too many disappointments. And believing that trend will no doubt continue. So, what I try to do is stay focused on the next 24 hours. What can I do to make the next 24 hours more enjoyable or at least more tolerable? One example is not listening to talk radio or watching some stupidity on TV. Talk radio is full of anger and uses fear as its biggest talking point. TV? We are being constantly bombarded with advertising designed to make you feel like cra+p because you don't have this car or that IPhone. True. Turning off the TV or radio won't give you the meaning of life, but its just one way to start shedding the anxiety and disappointment that keeps us from any sense of joy. Avoiding toxic people and gossip is another. Just small things to make the next 24 hours a bit more tolerable than the last. Big picture problems? None of us can really see the big picture because we are IN the big picture. Trying to change it is nearly impossible and its why we feel so overwhelmed. OK. Class dismissed! Enjoy the next 24 hours the best you can!
