Probably my first serious post...
Recently I told someone "I can take whatever life dishes out to me". Well, these werent the exact words, but this is what it boiled down to. Can I, I think. Many people who know me would disagree, I think. Hah the'd say. Percy? And I'd disagree with them. I think I can pretty much take whatever life dishes out to me. Why? Whats it with me that makes me so confident, inspite of my friends thinking otherwise? Lets analyse.
I think its about living life vicariously. Its about having a sense of humour and a vivid imagination. A vivid imagination gives you the capacity of being in various situations without actually being in them, and a sense of humour prevents you from (a) scaring yourself away (b) a circuit breaker to too much of analysis. Soak it in, let your subconscious do the analysis. The other is a violent short term reaction. I react very badly to any disappointment / bad news in the short term. (This being the reason my friends probably disagreeing with my statement, they being on the receiving end of quite some whining!) In a day or two I am so fed up of feeling that way, theres no option but to cheer up. Strongly recommended, age old, threadbare advise - dont bottle it up!
Having said that, right now feeling low - my track record gives me a lot of reason to believe it wont matter. Lets hope. Haha!
PS: A dose of cockiness always helps!
