I appreciate that advice and love that quote. But particularly because this is r/getmotivated, I feel like I should clarify. My life is very successful on a surface level (while the quote you gave is 100% true I do not want to lead anyone to think they shouldn’t try).

But I’ve always cared far more about the people in my life than economic success, career achievement. I always viewed those as a means to get to spend time with the people I love doing fun shit, investing my time and energy into them etc. And the shit “end of the stick” is the one time I asked some of them for some emotional support it turned into an argument instead of them really offering anything. Then after said argument my GF (now ex), my best friend and her boyfriend decided to hack some of my accounts and threaten me with pictures of me. Then instead of apologizing they said we can never talk about it again, but we’re not apologizing. So I walked away and they immediately started denying anything & everything to all my social circle who literally believed my ex best friend (and she’s known as loose with the truth). So I feel like I did right by everyone, and then got immediately outcast over the people that I literally just asked for the only apology I think I ever asked them for.

And typically a new reality. Reality is what we perceive about the world around us. There is cause and effect and then there is how you perceive having a flight canceled after waiting on the tarmac for 3 hours. Same reality, but not everyone on the plane feels the exact same way about it. Yes it would suck, and yes I wager everyone on the plane would be mad or distraught or disappointed, but out of the 300 people on this plane, someone is not letting it ruin their day or attitude because it was out of their control. That person has shifted their reality to better fit their expectations without necessarily lowering them.

I (44yo) started playing the guitar 5 days ago. I practice about 30 min to an hour a day. I can now play 6 notes and two chords by reading sheet music. I also learned how to read guitar tabs. I can now play the opening to Flutes of the Chi (Ween). My goal is to learn 6 (minimum) Ween songs every year.

It’s been fun so far but my finger tips are fucking wrecked lol.

If anyone likes Ween and plays guitar I made a tab book because you can’t actually buy one anywhere. I’m happy to email it for free. If you wanna kick me a few bucks that’s cool too but I don’t expect anything. It’s about 100 songs. DM me your email if you want them. Happy to share the love. Hail Boognish!
