not helpful

If i learned anything from Randy Pausch is that if anyone says anything or if any event happens in your life, and there isn't anything of value to take from it THEN IT IS NOT HELPFUL and as such, it should be dismissed. It's like eating a bag of cheetos. Zero nutritional value to your body and therefore not helpful! Thinking and re thinking an unkind comment someone has made is not helpful. I know i keep repeating myself, but honestly ...

Humanity isn't black and white. Emotion isn't either. My happiness will never mirror yours (and thank God for that). But if you are indeed happy with the way things are, then i will be happy for you. Making shitty comments will not make you feel better, will not make me feel better, and will ultimately not change anything, or help you in any way.

Life is too good love, too short, too amazing, to allow anyone to bring you down and take away any piece of you that remains happy and whole. It's taken a long time to know the difference. Becoming better for yourself is a daily struggle. But every step you take towards it, makes a mile of difference. So go live your life and be happy. There really aren't any secrets. It's all in what you focus on. The good stuff ... the things you can change, the things that you can affect, and the things that make everything better.
