And a wise person once said

For the first time in the longest time I feel content and happy with my life. Happiness is such a good feeling. I didn't get to be this content for a long period in the longest time. I was at this beautiful conservation area over the weekend, went to a Greek food festival and went on 2 dates with 2 different guys. I'm starting to learn how to enjoy life as it is rather than being unhappy about what it is not. I'm starting to take each situation as a learning opportunity.
I've heard lots of wise stuff over the last couple of months. One got to be from my sister, when I was nervous over an interview she said" You being so nervous has no benefit for you. Anxiety will not help you in any shape or form in your job interview".
Another wise person said to me
" you are like a spoiled child. When you figure you can't have someone/something, you keep clinging on to them. It's like being a spoiled child who wants something so badly and can't accept that it can't be theirs. "
This wiseman also said" There is a guy that you go to a baseball game with. The atmosphere in the stadium, all the energetic people around and all the lighting makes you both enjoy the game very much. You start kissing and it feels excellent. Some guys are good for watching a baseball game, you go to the game & enjoy the game. But the same guys doesn't like going to picnics. You can't make this guy go to the picnic with you because he won't enjoy you it. The wise thing is to go to the baseball game and enjoy the game, but not to go to picnic with them. With some other guys, you enjoy their company at picnic, but they are not into the baseball game. Then enjoy picnic with them. Your (significant other, LOL) should be someone that enjoys both the game and picnic with you."
The wise-man also said " You cannot say everything you have in your mind to everyone. This is not honesty. This is dangerous thinking . "
He also said:" Why do you keep trying to change people's mind? When someone tells you that they think a certain way why do you keep trying to change that? If someone says they are not ready then they are not, why do you want to convince them otherwise?" & also: "it is not your business to change people's life. If someone does something that you think is stupid is their own responsibility. "
One last thing:" you have to be patient. Otherwise what you get is guys that are just there for fun. If you want something better you have to give it more time. Get to know them more and make a decision. You can't make a decision based on hanging out with someone just after a couple of times. What you do is that you make a list of what you like about that person, and what you don't like about them over time. But you can't make this list in a short period of time. You have to finish going on a test drive before you decide to buy a car. "
