Tougher to be Tough

Ah well, here we are again, another beautiful Monday morning in JHB and that "urrgghhh" feeling of work/where you are in life/complex relationships/ feeling of getting nowhere-ness / lol. Perhaps better laugh than cry/shout/swear out of frustration. And it's not always possible to write here exactly what goes on in my mind, but geez man, it's just a matter of damn frustration... I have written about that before, but I find the sensation of being frustrated, well, the most frustrating thing to deal with. And it's a constant mess up of trying to be focused, happy, grateful, and then being realistic and facing the daily chores and unhappy situations in your life (i.e. work, relationships, house, money, car, etc). We have many things to be grateful for, yes, but honestly, feeling shit is part of it (it's impossible to just be "positive" all the time!)

What you want, but can't have; what you feel, but can't say; what you dream, but don't achieve; what you train, but don't see the results of; what you sow but just don't manage to reap... Yeah, yeah, yeah! I can carry on with many other examples. In the end, we have to look at life in a realistic manner, and balance these odd-negative things out with the positives. Surely, being clever means understanding how this balance works, gliding with it, in motion (not fighting it), and finding the brilliance of your own self-worth and strengths, right in the middle. Stimulating the middle ground, the equilibrium, the powerful balance, that is what will excel you into major success - or so I believe. Not being caught up on the negative side, and not being infatuated by the nicer, positive spectrum. Well, surely, good things will come to those?

Movie I watched on DVD this weekend (a real feel-good movie!):

Slumdog Millionaire
