The Biclars

It’s true what they say, “the bigger they are, the harder they fall”. But recently, this metaphor rings true when it comes to how I feel about something.

The more I’m emotionally invested in something, the more I head down a spiralling hole of being hard on myself if something bad happens. Thoughts of, “what if” or “I should/shouldn’t have” haunt me during the day and at night.

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learnt is that only we make things mean something when in fact they don’t mean anything at all. “But Glenn, what about my career? Or friends?? Or even my family??! They mean something to me!”, I hear you say!
Of course those things mean something to you and I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with that.
I’ve found that because we make things mean something, the more potential there is to be burned.

Does that mean we shouldn’t make things mean anything so that we won’t be susceptable to potential pain? Of course not!
What am I actually trying to say? I really don’t know!  I’m just venting here!!!
I just know that for myself, if shit happens, I keep living in the past and get sucked into my own self wallow.  Happens to me everytime.

I guess I’m writing this to remind myself of the bigger picture and acknowledge the things I do have right now because in reality, isn’t that what we really have?
I’m struggling to focus on getting on with it. Life is too short.

I’m just glad that I have great friends around me and an unconditionally loving wife
