Good enough

I have some moments when I find myself being not satisfied with what I've got. Sometimes it's in connection with my outlook: to be somewhat fatter, to need bigger size in bra, to grow above my sister in height, to have darker eyelashes and whatever.

At other moments I'm disappointed of a tournament, a lost game, a missed prize, a not-that-well performed presentation or a less successful test. I have these moments when nothing is good enough.

And I guess many other human-creatures -- if not all of them -- have such moments, too. Concerning different topics but same disappointment. Seems like the more we have the more we want.

I was bothering myself with such 'problems' this morning as well. And then Life the wise came and smacked me in the face. It arrived in the form of a walk, just a single walk. A walk nearby rag-beds, newspaper shelters -- smutty-faced inhabitants.

Just try to stare into their eyes and say you are not lucky enough.

And we avert our gaze and look down, or up -- seldom into those eyes.

You ARE lucky, I know!
These slaps from that so called Life always have their purposes. You just have to accept slaps, even there were and are too much. It's a cliché - and everyone hate clichés.
Note that not life happens to you - you happen to life. Things are bad when you want them to be bad...
And keep on smiling cause we all love your smile! :)
