Quoting: G_Man
Here is an additive observation for you Sp00k. All depression comes from not living in the now. There is nothing to be sad about or fear at this very moment. We fear what is coming (whether it is or not in our own minds).
So, when everyone gets up Monday Morning (or you equivelant first day of the work week) think only about what you need to be doing at that moment and the rest will follow. Before you know it, Friday is here.
Which is exactly why jedi has been so busy. The military knows full well that if they keep you pre-occupied you will remain focused on the now and when its all over you will not have spent so much time 'worrying' about home and whether you'll graduate and whether you'll go to war and... No time for wondering about that crap. You got shoes to shine and bunks to GI right now.
Good plan the military has.
Excellent post and observation, too my friend. Thanks Sp00k.

Damned good post Gman and Spooky
I know damned well you're right...but I've found my own way (dont get mad at me

)
I simply just work at being an optomist. I dont worry about what's gunna suck, I think about how good Friday night will be, or how even though Teusday might end up being a long day, I'm going out for lunch with an old friend... It works very well for me personally at least

It got me recognised at my very first job. Even though I was far younger and less experienced than other cooks and chefs, I think it's a fair statement to say that I know I was well loved. How? Because people told me; from bosses to those eventually under me, they enjoyed working with someone that I was always possitive, every morning, and at the end of every day....always! (and if you've worked in a kitchen especially, you know how hard that is to pull off every damned day

)
I know the good Gman doesnt believe in dreams, but I do...

(young and stuborn he probably thinks

)
I have dreams for what I want my life to be, the person I want to be, the family I wan to have, hell...albiet shallow in the eyes of some, the house and car I want

I have goals set and written down in a draw right under this keyboard. Therefore, what I'm saying in faaaar too many words is that I cant just live for RIGHT NOW, I plan, think ahead and look forward for what's coming...
