An update about a happy, content moment.

Post by oak »

Hi friends.

1. I am actively taking steps, however haltingly, to address my issues: sleep apnea, messy apartment, lack of physical fitness. Right this moment, I've done all Life can ask of me.

2. I had my annual review at work. We had a direct, if sometimes difficult discussion of what I can accomplish, standards for professional behavior from deluded boomers, and my longer-term plans. Nothing was unsaid.

3. I just ate some chicken and enjoyed a pop. These were extremely satisfying.

Satisfying: this is the experience of this moment. I still have many problems, extremely difficult ones at that.

But for now, I'm satisfied. I've done what I can.

Outstanding, you are a success and a self-actualized man, because you are in the process to the very best of your ability.

This is the step in the cycle that matters. The ‘content’ might change but, if you can keep this part steady, then you’ll win.

A good question is, what will satisfy me?
