I am eating the best soup of my existence, and watching limitless which is boring so far. I’ve gotten through an absolutely terrible week. And you know what?
I’m better off.
I’ve made a ton of mistakes, and am goddamned happy to have made them.
This week my dad told me the story of the happy buddhists. It goes like this:
The one buddhist comes to his friends, the other buddhists, and says “I lost my job” and they all laugh and cheer.
The one buddhist comes back next week and says “I’ve got a job”. And they all say “I’m so sorry.”
You see, when you lose you have the opportunity to learn. But when you gain, you lose that opportunity.
