The one that got away

Life is full of the ones that got away.

The missed chances, the lost opportunities, the jobs we never got, the exams we failed, the bus we missed, the girl or boy we didn’t get with.

It is also full of all the ones that didn’t, the opportunities we grabbed, the people we met, the things we did do.

Focus on what you have, not what you don’t.

It leads to a happier life.

Counting chickens before they hatch

The system wants us to count the chickens before they hatch.

Certainty is sold to us to overcome the manufactured fears that scare us.

To achieve certainty, there are the rules we have to follow, conditions to be met.

They involve us complying.

Never count the chickens as often they do not hatch.

Also, perhaps we don’t want the chickens they offer us.
