Everyone will pressure and force you into the mindset of results. Your team has to win, you have to gain skills, things have to get better. It was a real shock to learn that a better way to live is to just focus on doing good things and finding joy into that part of life. I think about this every so often when I am trying to find joy in giving people rides to AA meetings. I am like "They can stay sober, they could find a job, they could do this or that. Often they let me down, it is because I have the wrong line of thinking. I need to find joy in doing the right thing, not joy in results or outcome. When I can find joy in doing good things that frees me up to enjoy life more. I am not wasting time or energy worrying about people places or things that I can't change.
Yesterday I watch Sporting KC tie, The Royals lose, and USA win 2-0. I had a self imposed "Cheap night" because I wanted to take it easy after being at work over holiday weekend. The Royals and Sporting KC don't deserve my 60 dollars. USA won and I got to have some laughs. It was good to spend time with Monica, Matt the engineer, Jason, Sarah, and Andrea. My favorite part of the night is not seeing the 60 dollars come out of my wallet and into David Glasses hands.
Rants and raves about The Royals, Sporting KC, Music, life, and junk food.
