What I’ve Learned: Michael J Fox

It’s not exactly the Sunscreen song, but Michael J Fox still has some life lessons to share. Language warning, though. A small quote:

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

Acceptance is the key to everything.

Which isn’t to say that I’m resigned to it, or that I’ve given up on it, or that I don’t think I have any effect on the outcome of it. It’s just that, as a reality, I get it.

A Blessed Christmas to you, wherever you are.

  1. Isn’t that the thing about life though? Where you have to accept the things as they are, or you will never be able to change them.

    Acceptance, is pretty powerfull I think. If you could accept your finger has jus been cut off you can run to the doctors or attempt to fix the problem.

    One man can’t fix everything and infact I believe I can hipocritisise myself to the end proving that this statement is true and false, ie.. He can’t do everything alone / Have you tried? I haven’t.

    Happyness I think may be the true key to acceptance though. The one thing that pushes away that harsh reality, and invites a not so bad one into sight. It may be many things and the great pool of things out there that may or may not make you or me happy.
    Plus all of the other variables involed like sequence, timing in ones life, a current feeling.

    Considering the only thing that really seperates humans is there point of view, when striped of all social status, the fact that your or I am happy, considering very different monstrocities, is amazing and can rock the world if used right!

    Merry X-mas and happier New Year! ( B
