    Where are you going? Are you a success?

    Will I be successful ten years from now?

    If I had it my way, I would have been a corpse ten years ago.

    But after ten weeks in a wheelchair, I kinda want to avoid the consequences of taking that into my hands. I'll die when it's my time.

    To die a happy death tomorrow with a clean conscience would be great, but I think putting a shotgun to my head isn't exactly going with a clean conscience, and would hurt people who actually do care!

    It is true, I get signs. The putting a big "H" on paper for Hirohito, and finding a Jacket with a Japanese flag and big Capitol H hours later is a true story:

    Enshrining Jackie Kennedy on Christmas (birthday of Dionysus) and finding a Jackie cell phone in my locked security hallway on New years day , birthday of Denise (a name that means Dionysus) Naslund, less than a week later, is a true story. Who places a brand new phone in a locked security hallway I don't share with anyone??

    It seems like many signs and wonders happen that are more than coincidence.

    But will they actually lead anywhere?

    All of the evidence suggests that I will accomplish very little in this life.

    However, there is the next life I believe and consider.

    Also, more than one person has told me I was extremely helpful to them. So, life isn't totally meaningless.

    But I know I am sick in the head. I'm likely not going to go very far and have to practice radical acceptance of that fact.

    But I can do little things with great love!

    Where are you headed? Are you a success?

    for the record, there is a philosophy section. on my screen, it's actually directly below the occult section. not that i think this is a bad place for the thread anyway.

    anyway, i don't know where the hell i'm going. even if i had a specific plan, things never turn out that way. it would be kind of boring if they did.

      What Has This Got To Do With The Stoners Lounge...????

      Shouldn't It Be In The "Occult" Thread...????



      Cheers Glen.

        I was looking for a philosophy section.

        When I get stoned I like to talk about where people are headed with their lives and if they are successful.

          I'm a total failure and practically a bum. I have no idea where this is all heading, though.

          You are a success if you can stay nice. I've become my worst version of myself.

            That statement is rigorous honesty! A lot of people don't have that good quality!

              I wish I could disassociate from my body.

              You're great at being nice, Matt.

                I don't care about where I'm headed as much as where I am right now.

                No one can judge anyone elses success. I feel pretty successful :-)

                  Not sure where i'm headed. An explorer without a destination.

                  I don't strive for success. Its more about passion for me. Relentlessly pursuing my passion and revolving my whole life around it. Regardless of success or failure, whether i make money from it or not, whether i loss everything or gain the world. It makes no difference because i discovered something in me that makes me feel rich.

                    I dont really care about success as measured by external metrics so much, I just want to live in a space where all elements of my life align with what makes my little heart happy and puts it at peace. I'm getting there

                      Success isn't easily defined. Fresh out of the armed forces I started out my working life as an assistant storeman. Twenty years later I owned 49% of the business. Twenty years after this I owned 100% and then I handed the business over to my son. Do I feel I am sucessfull? No I don't because most of my friends who started out in business at the same time I did, live in larger houses and drive more expensive automobiles than I do. I'm reasonably happy but do not look upon myself as a success.
