"It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose, that is not a weakness, that is Life" --Captain Jean Luc Picard

 

I wanted to add that quote because over the past few days it has become terribly relevant and it became the quote that rang through my head when I was feeling horrible as I went to sleep this weekend, and I know that's this weekend and that was a long time ago but I havn't talked much this week and now I'm finally feeling that things are looking up and I wanted to mention just how helpful that quote was when I was going through a hard time. I saw just how true that statement is whenever I try my best to make the days good and I exercise, hydrate, eat properly and get plenty of fresh air and read and write and basically fill my days with everything that I need to in order to make it a sucessfull day however at the end of the day I still feel awful and as if I just want to give up; I didn't do anything wrong and I tried my best and I still lost the fight, Just as my captain said might happen and he was right, as usual, it's nothing to panic over. It happens to the best of us and it will continue to happen throughout the rest of our lives. Try to get some sleep you may still be in a hole the next morning, however, you will be more equiped to handle it, there's no reason to throw in the towel just yet, we've all lost the battles.

 

 Now to move on, I wont to emphasize the fact that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results (Or something Like that) So another option is to change your method, in the episode that Captain Picard said that Data lost in a game even though he made no mistakes. What did he do then? He simply changed his method, instead of trying to win, he made is goal to create a tie between his opponent and himself and it worked. It's always good to change things up a bit, change your method and see what effect it has on your life, or even better, change your goal, you might find this new goal to be more obtainable than the last one.

 

I am speaking theoretically, of course, but I do beleive that this is good advice, at least it's what I'm going to try to do in my life and hopefully it has a positive effect. If it does I am sure that I will mention it or at least my attitude will alter slightly. It's always worth a few experiments in order to improve ones quality of life. I usual go with the survival part of daily life and I have found that I am very talented at that now it's time for me to step out and find out my reaction to less survival and more mind numbing fear. I can only hope for the best and keep a safe place close. I hope that anybody reading this might try this too and see how they to fare in such a dangerious game as social interaction is, but always make sure that you're ready to branch out, remember to take care of yourself first, make sure you can survive each day independantly before you go off jumping into your own fears.

 

See, Star Trek is helpful.

 

Who am I kidding? Watch Star Trek, it's the greatest, most inspiring show to ever have existed, I mean, it has all of the adventure and sci-fi of Doctor Who without the extreme amount of pain in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. In the end I always go back to my precious Enterprise, she will teach you lessons that you will take with you for the rest of your life.
