And if you spend your good times worrying about what’s gonna happen if things get bad
When are you ever happy?
This is how a lot of people spend their lives. Myself especially included. It is so hard to integrate the good, the bad and the ugly into our lives. Accepting things as they are. Not worried about yesterday or tomorrow. Not worried that if something good happens, when is that going to end.
This is one of the reasons I love watching children and animals. They're not worried. If you watch a cat sleep... the cat can be completely sleeping and if there's a sudden noise or danger, it's completely alert IN THAT MOMENT and as soon as the danger has passed, the cat goes right back to sleeping. I wish I could do that. I tend to spend a lot of wasted time worrying and obsessing about things that not only do I have no control over, but even if I have control over something, I still second guess myself... maybe I should have done this, or done that, or done it this way and not that way.
I need to remember dancing. Dancing is totally in the moment. Can't undo a wrong move. Just have to keep going. While I'm dancing, if I start thinking about a wrong move, I completely lose the step and timing.
I'll just have to keep dancing and integrate that more into my life!
