Think about tomorrow to get the day to pass.
How do you learn to enjoy your day?
I guess by doing productive things. Not productive in the way :
1. Remember to finish project x by tomorrow.
2. Finish reading the book you started! ( just for the sake of finishing )
3. Walk the dog.
4. Visit your ancient/old family member to stay in touch ( because that is the right thing to do ).
5. Call an old friend.
6. Etc,etc.
But by doing things that make you happy.
How does that happen? I mean does this sort of bliss even exist?
Somebody must have found a way to make this work without giving up all there money to a Jehovah-group or by following the way of
Buddha.
It feels like throwing away precious time out the window when I look forward to tomorrow or in two weeks or to this fall. è
Currently I am looking forward to Friday because then I am going to visit a theatre to help out in a production as an assistant or actually below the assistant. Because they already have one.
So how much fun is that? It beats answering phonecalls all day.
But the worst is that I am also looking forward to drinking a bottle of wine. Not that I am invited to a party or a dinner or any kind of lovely social festivity. A chance is that someone might call and make plans with me. But the probability is minimal.
When I finish this job I am going to sunbathe. While I am doing that I will look forward to having the perfect tan. And not only that when this job is over for the summer my boy is coming to town. To live. I am looking forward to that, yes indeed.
So when I reach the moment. Will it be as much fun as I pictured it? Is this way of thinking disastrous, unhealthy, distorted and abnormal? Is it glutinous and an immobilization of the creative mind? It can`t be!
But what about this moment? Was this a moment I was looking forward to? To look forward to looking forward?
Or, is it the same type of looking forward as before?
Maybe I am starting from the wrong end of the equation. Maybe this is the good type of productivity that leads to bliss, happiness and tranquility to body, mind and soul.
In that case....Could it be?
That just maybe...
I...Amam...Happypy?
No, it can`t be. Nobody`s ever happy.
