I don't know about you, but I keep telling this to myself all the time. But what's wrong with getting excited?
Well, I told you that April is my month, right? And indeed, things have been pretty awesome this month, so naturally I get excited. I start expecting things. From awesome being something rare and unexpected to be grateful for, I start taking it for granted. Everything has to be awesome! But is this the way things work?
Of course not. Life is like a bumpy ride for lack of a better term. You don't know when things will go back to usual from awesome or even worse than usual. So how to prepare oneself for this?
Again, easier said than done, but the only way I know to protect oneself of the inevitable fall is to be impartial. And guess what? Then it's not really a fall. It's just party of the ride. Just like a jet coaster! You have to go down to go even higher after that. And when you reach the peak, you know you will be going down. Better to accept it rather than fight it and then wait for the next high!
So tighten your belts and enjoy the ride!
