DON'T RUSHI was thinking about something, something I already talked about a couple of weeks ago.
Sometimes it seems that things are going very fast, sounds fun, but we should be careful with that.
It’s always fun of course to be the fastest on the top, but don’t forget, how faster you’re on the top, how faster you’re going down. So I always say, take things slow, enjoy floating on the top, before you’ll break your fall and go down. Take things slow, take your time, enjoy and I mean really enjoy what you’re doing, so that it will take much longer. Rushing things won’t do any good. When experiencing something new, you want to try everything out, that’s understandable. But if you’ve already tried everything in one month, what’s left to do then, nothing right.
I always say, live like there is no tomorrow, but taking things slow is good too.
I have noticed, that every time I try to rush things, the going down comes sooner too. And every time I take things slow, it lasts longer.
That whole being on top, moving to the top and going down is also the same with being depressed. When you’re depressed you think like nothing can get any worse and you’re right. At that point you find yourself in the deepest point of that valley, when you look down, all you see is ground, when you look up, you see a great way up, a blue sky. So, get your ass up there. And that’s why I say, never be happier than you ever were in your life, because then you’re on top. And when you look up, there’s nothing left but sky, nothing to climb to. When you look down, you see a whole valley, you can go down. So, at that point there is no other choice than to go down and be unhappy. So, don’t go straight to the top, don’t go to the bottom, just stay in the middle. Stay normally happy, good and bad things combined in one lifetime. That way, you can swing between up and down, without risking to fall into the valley.
I’ve learned that, so I’m happy if I have my troubles. I’m happy if I cry and smile at the same time. I’m balanced, I have two ways to go…up and down…not only down, and that’s the way it should be…be normally happy.
