Old Times

Today I'm feeling very open to nostalgia. This is not uncommon for me, but I'm just lately recognizing the large space in my heart that is forever filled with memories with all the best friends I made during high school! All of my absolute BEST times have been with these girls. They always brought out a side of me nobody else could. We were the weirdest, most annoying and (in our opinion at the time) funniest people on Earth.

Thank you girls for making life fun.

Pleasure Vs Joy

Pleasure is a powerful source of motivation, but it does not produce change; it is a conservative force that makes us want to satisfy existing needs, achieve comfort and relaxation. . . . Enjoyment [gratification] on the other hand is not always pleasant, and it can be utterly stressful at times. A mountain climber may be close to freezing, utterly exhausted, in danger of falling into a bottomless crevasse, yet he wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Sipping a cocktail under a palm tree at the edge of the turquoise ocean is nice, but it just doesn't compare to the exhilaration he feels on that freezing ridge.
