Black and White
There is a real danger in seeing everything in black and white. This is a lesson I have struggled to learn. But realizing and accepting things are not always A or B can help eliminate many frustrations, disappointments and even points of contention with others.
Allow yourself to work with outcomes a-z, rather than just a & b.
The more life experience you gain, the more things you see add up differently than you predicted. You see outcomes that you could not have foreseen. You see disappointments in things that were seemingly rock solid. If your cognizant of these things, you will find your opinion and philosophy evolving to accommodate the endless possibilities of life.
This post isn't to say there are no absolutes in life, but rather in most things there are endless permutations and variations.
Allow yourself to work with outcomes a-z, rather than just a & b.

ReplyDeleteIf someone told me this - "But realizing and accepting things are not always A or B can help eliminate many frustrations, disappointments and even points of contention with others."
- long time ago, I perhaps would save myself from some heartache, but I'm still young and can shift my mindset.
Thanks, bro.
