That's not to say we should not look ahead. For glass half full people, it's a positive. For glass half empty, it can lead to the aforementioned dysfunctions. Generally, we have become a culture that does not live like animals, in the moment. Living in the moment is just as important as seeing the future, sometimes MUCH more important. Like most everything, it's about finding that balance, looking ahead, but appreciating the moment. Even if the moment is tragic. I tell people going through a death in the family to let the grief and pain wash over you. Feel it. I've gotten thanks for that advice. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-69870965199383871822017-05-19T14:47:32.874-04:002017-05-19T14:47:32.874-04:00Disadvantage...Advantage
