Two messages that came to me today.
My wife’s band played an outdoor show today at a local garden and expo center for a fall festival being held.
When I walked into the cafeteria/marketplace, I saw this sign.
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imaging (*we imagine)
I often find signs written in a second language can speak to deeper truths for lack of being too eloquent.
It’s true, you know. There’s a level of awareness in us all that is almost beyond “disappointment” and beyond “thrills.”
I’m reminded of this Facebook post, posted this morning by a good friend:
There’s an excellent book that deals with these topics as well, called Awareness. It’s one of my favorite books.
I hope you all are having a great time, wherever you are, around the world. Thrilled, or disappointed and sad, we Steem on, don’t we?

Anyone can be happier and feel more fulfilled if practising self-awareness and self-reflectance in my opinions.

Firstly, good wishes to your better half for her show.Secondly, I think,we must know how to enjoy our life. Every individual suffers from some sort of mental frustration in this stressful world..It might vary among individuals.That does not mean we will take all sorts of tensions in life...Life is short...so cheers...enjoy..
nice post friend, good motivational messages and i also like to mentioned that observing yourself and accepting where you are in life is also a secret of happiness. so stay happy and enjoy your weekend my friend, thanks for sharing
so just live life to its fullest today and let tomorrow take care of itself but how do you overcome disappointment? when things don't usually work out the way you want them to?
That is a good question. At that point I usually question if what I am doing is really what I want to be doing in my heart.
