‘Oh no. This is bad, so bad. What will become of me. I have failed!’ I said to myself this today when I realized what I had done… or rather not done.
HAHAHAHAHA! Actually I didn’t say any of those things. I’m over beating myself up for being me! I remembered this morning that I forgot to publish this weeks song by the deadline – Deadline is Sunday. As long as it is Sunday somewhere in the World it qualifies That’s the first time since I started the WSC. My initial thought was that because I had forgotten then I must be losing interest and that made me annoyed.
However after all of about 2 seconds I realized that it’s no big deal at all. I am working on a pretty intense (for me) project at the moment and I was caught up in that. It also shows me that sometimes the ball gets dropped, but no life is threatened and nothing is actually wrong.
I think its healthy to not always see things so black and white, which is why I chose this song for this weeks’ slightly belated offering. The point is that you only suffer if you have an attachment to the outcome of a situation. If your happiness or even your own sense of identity depends on things turning out a particular way then you may end up suffering unnecessarily.
Life is not a game of chess, no matter what people may say, so it matters not whether White or Black wins.
Enjoy!
