crappy relationships, your litany of financial disasters and splintered dreams, your job that no one else would do, let alone die for, your ever-dwindling ambition.
You.
And you are always winning. Even when you are apparently losing, it's a win for this cycle of BS.
You don't just have to overcome life, or the immediacy of your concerns; you have to overcome yourself

Your past dominates your potential.
You don't live a life of "anything is possible"; you live a life of "some things are possible, given my past."

That's what true acceptance is for a human being. When you can let something be itself without any charge or reaction around that thing. When it has no influence, and I mean NONE, good or bad. Nothing either way.

You can improve yourself, get smarter and stronger and more secure, but you can never get past that conclusion.
The experiences of improvement and success are fleeting.

Your love, your self-expression, are there to be broadcast to the world, not shut down, manipulated and controlled in the ruins of a once blooming friendship or relationship.
Resentment is for fools and the unaware.
Forgiveness, love, and connection between you and other human beings is where it's at. Work it out. Work out how to be that kind of human being. That doesn't make you a doormat either

Payback? I don't have enough time for that shit. If you're making your life about payback, that's NOT karma. That's being angry and spiteful and vengeful.
Karma doesn't take sides.

It takes as much effort to live a crappy life as it does a great one.
And you're the only one who can choose which you want to live.
