Subject: Doc , whining and failure
Doc is right . I don’t whine as much as I once did . I am trying hard not to as its really pointless if you want to get anything done . I was once in a bad place. My daddy passed and I had mamas bills and 3 kids to raise with no child support . I had a $200,000 mess on top of my bad health form multiple car accidents and being hit by lightning . I was introduced to this chatlist as a therapy for me to connect to others and voice myself . As much as I voice my thoughts on here I couldn’t voice my self at home for many years. I am sorry for venting here as much as I once did . Sometimes we whine or vent just so someone will listen . I learned that I really didn’t need anyone to fix the problem just listen . Listening is a lost art and act of kindness we can give others . Doc I really appreciate you noticed and I always welcome your wise feedback .
One of the greatest teachers in life is failure if you are mindful and learn from it . Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results . I am proud of my failures as each one made it easier for me to succeed the next time . I’m in a happy place now as all the financial messes are gone , 99% of the stress and I’m still standing ! Paul Tierney once told me a day would come when all the stress , tribulations and obstacles thrown at me would be gone and I would look back on it all and feel not only relief but accomplishment as well . He was right as that day has come with an empty nest 😉
Goodnite Mark
