No I'm not sure.

I told my psychologist I thought I might be bipolar and she said all her patients think they're bipolar.

If you're having unusual swings in both directions - like elation then crippling depression - you might be.

Do you take risks when you're happy? Like spending way too much money, doing stupid risky things physically like on a dare?

We're just a bunch of talking monkeys on a floating rock in space. Conclusion: do whatever makes you happy.

Loneliness and envy has a way of draining all your motivation.

42. :P


It's the journey, not the destination.. it's about the process.. the continuous cycle of pursuing personal bests & bigger better achievements of goals of all kinds. Ask pretty well any successful person in any pursuit and they will tell you this.. whether a builder or a musician, even if to others they've achieved wild success, they're never done & they never think "I've made it, time to quit." They just keep going and going because it's the going that's worth doing.

When you're Being Present & enjoying the process, you're happy, and when you're happy you want to keep being happy.. so you just keep going.

I don't know.
The achievements seem just as pointless as anything else.
What is the point of success on top of success?
I've been successful, now I've quit.
It makes no difference at all.
