RE: Reflecting upon a short conversation. (U-log)
Other people's potential depends on what you see vs what they want. I have been told a few times now that I'm wasting mine because I won't open a clinic or at least operate professionally (apparently I'm good at massage...though my type of massage is only nominally massage). I'm choosing not to because I very loosely class what I do as medical/remedial and don't believe that should be limited by money (I usually ask people I've worked on to pay it forward but sometimes they really, really want to give me something so I get paid in chocolate XD) Meanwhile I just want to be an artist.
I guess what I'm trying to say is you can really only help people if they want to be helped, and sometimes even if they will accept help you're not the kind of help they need, so either way don't feel bad, you can only do whatever it is you can do.
Hey Ryiv, hope you and the family are all OK.
I hear ya, but it is frustrating to see so many good people, especially young people, with God given talents and traits that could really make them a lot more successful in whatever it is that they wish to do, yet it doesn't happen because of the twisted norms out there.
I'm no motivational speaker or quack, but if I did know how, I would do my best to help out. It does actually feel really sh#tty to see people not achieve what they can and then maybe ponder on the question of "What if?" later on in life.
& it isn't all about the money, in fact money is tooo slippery, it literally slips out of the pockets in a matter of split seconds when least expected. But being the best one can and achieving goals, that is worth more than and $ figure.
Not to mention the example it gives to the generation that shall follow. WOW!
Guess I'm just an old bugger wishing that the future could be better for everyone, starting from the individual as the foundation to everything we humans are.
Nice to hear from you, many hugs and toasts (drinks) and thanks for saying HI.
Means a lot to me. Really appreciate it.
