I was waiting for a fresh start so I could jump in.

On the previous topic, my perspective is someone who exhibits confidence doesn't go out of their way to let people know. On the other hand some who displays arrogance does so out of self promotion and many time lacks confidence in their own abilities.

So true!
 
Strolls in, badge in hand. These parts best not turn into a "guess my alt" kind of place.....

You started it, pmann.

A great hump day joke..:D

It was a joke, right?

Have these two ever posted in tandem? Been seen at the same time?...:eek:
 
I think the line between confidence and arrogance is a fine one, but a line nonetheless. For me, I can't really define the two, certainly no better than others have already done. Confidence is like porn: I know it when I see it.

Further, confidence = sexy; arrogance = huge turn off.

And further again, I think the alt poll is interesting. I'll go ahead and out myself: I have found that using an alt can be useful at few times. My alt has been dormant for a while, but she occasionally shows up. Sort of on an as-needed basis.

And STILL FURTHER: the papa chained thing has to stop. Lol. Yes, I'm looking at you, stickman.
 
jeez..keep yer pants on...I'm not guessing anything.
Je... I mean 37_ttej and I go back a bit.. :p

You mean I shouldn't have outed myself in my alt's bio? :eek:
Here was me trying to be all honest and open like.
Sheesh, am I the Grade A simpleton! :(
 
I didn't want to say anything, my friend. Well at least until my present arrives. :p
I am thinking that this thread could tun into a best selling novel on Lit if it continues. Although It might read like stereo instructions with all the diagrams it would need to connect the Alts! ;)
 
Slipping in on a hump day morning, wondering how many of you had sex before logging I n today? That's not the question for today, just something that crossed my mind when I wrote "hump day".

My question comes from a thought about happiness, that you can't be happy unless you know what it is that you want. Knowing what you want doesn't guarantee happiness but not knowing guarantees that you won't find it. Knowing gives you focus, allows you to put into place the plans & actions to get/have what you want. Once you have it, happiness can occur.

Disappoint happens when you believed that you knew what you wanted, achieved it, and realized you were wrong, that your happiness lays elsewhere. Disappointment is a risk that comes part in parcel with happiness.

Do you know what you want?

I want to have my cake and eat it too.

This is a difficult topic to answer, at least for me. I've said this before " I want to want."
This is somewhat of a cliche but it seems like the the journey, the quest have always been more fulfilling than the destination. Don't get me wrong, I am not denying there is personal satisfaction in achievement, but some of our fondest memories are when we were first struggling. So for me, I refuse to stop the journey and bask in happiness, I want to continue to strive, but the goals have changed with more focus on family, friends and making memories.
 
I know some overarching things that I want. Happy marriage, happy life, happy child. But putting in place an action plan to achieve happiness isn't always easy.

I did not. That would be a questionable event being that I get up at a very early hour.

For me, I think Happiness doesn't have to be driven by accomplishment. I can experience happiness just walking into the house after work and smelling dinner being prepared. Or or hearing about what someone else has accomplished in their day. I am rarely satisfied (happy) for very long about achieving a goal that I set for myself. I usually look to the next thing I want to achieve upon accomplishing the last one.

By the same token, I have learned that If I cannot be happy with where I am currently, I wont be happy elsewhere either. It has taken me many years to accept this truth, and I am still practicing the application.
 
Happiness is not always easily achievable. Overall, I'm a pretty happy person. But a lot of things in life but us hard at times.

For me there are two categories of things that make me happy.

1. Things I need to be happy.
2. Things I want to be happy.

The first group are necessities and without them I won't be happy. The second group are items that make me happier, I guess. More frivolous stuff. People say things and stuff doesn't make you happy. I say that's shit. I mean, if I don't have the first group, the second won't make me happy. But I'll say this, ever seen someone frowning while riding on a jet ski?
 
Wow, this is a deep subject today.

^ This.

and my 0.2 cents...

Western society puts a lot of emphasis on being happy and on having fixed goals in order to attain that happiness. Better job, bigger house, perfect spouse, nicer car, successful kids, and the list goes on and on. In doing so, we create a paradox, like a dog chasing its tail, because the harder we pursue happiness, the more elusive it becomes.

I see happiness as fleeting. It is not something that can be attained outside of myself. I can be doing something as simple as taking a jog and look up and see the sunset, and I am happy, I mean truly, truly happy, and grateful.

I search for peace. When I am in a peaceful state, a state of acceptance, I can then make better decisions about my life. If there is something that needs to change in order for me to become more peaceful, or healthier, or grow as a person, I am able to see it more clearly and take action if needed. Give me peace anyday over happiness because it is in that peace that I will find my bliss.

Do I know what I want? Yes. I want a simple life surrounded by beauty because the beauty in me sees everything as something to be grateful for. Peace, love, and simplicity. That’s what I want. And in having that, I will have it all.
 
I know EXACTLY what I want... the problem is, when I get there, it never looks like I thought it would look like. Also, what I want tends to change over time. This doesn't keep me from being happy, though. I'm a generally happy person. Changing desires just keeps me on my toes :)

I agree. I know what I want. There are some things I want that I don't have. Some that I can't have. Even so, I am happy. I have everything I need to be happy. The rest would just be a bonus.

I will add that, in my opinion, happiness is a choice. Sometimes you just have to choose to be happy. Sometimes you have to choose to want what you have.

I choose happy. It works for me.
