    I suppose it would depend on why I am unhappy.


    If I was unhappy this:

    Then I would opt to change my circumstances. If I no longer put myself in that position I will no longer be unhappy.


    If I was unhappy about this:

    I would opt to change myself first. Before I learn to mature and can let go of the past, there is no benefit in changing my circumstances.

    • Darn!
      I was checking my old account for any feedback I might have missed (1 new comment!) and to get the links to my past questions... and I forgot to go back to my new account! I must be consistent and only use this account.

    • Went to each link and read the questions..assuming they reflect what you were experiencing at the time you asked them, where are you now? Sometimes simply changing your circumstances will allow the growth it takes to mature and let things go...if you are sitting in a vise that keeps squeezing you ever tighter, you need to get out of there first before you can reflect on anything else..the circumstances prevent the growth because of the pain they are causing..get out of the circumstances first..worry about your insides later. :)

    • Unfortunately I am still in the process of changing my circumstances with regard to the first question... but I will get out of that vice soon.

    • Thank you, Pathia..that is so sweet of you. I'm not sure I'm wise so much as old! The older one gets, the more experience one has! :)

    • Thanks Pathia. :-)
      @Rosie: Any luck with the IM program?

    • No, nevets...but I have your emails with links..I'll try again at some point. I get just "so far" and no further with it. At some point when Old School comes over to visit I can ask his help. We are in the process of moving to a new place..starting Saturday when we took out our first load of stuff..today we take out another load..we have to be out of here by Nov. 30..plan to take out all the large stuff the weekend of Nov 17/18 and then keep moving garage stuff and other non-essentials. So I probably won't be trying the IM until we're settled on the other end. Thanks, though, for trying so hard on my behalf. I know, what are friends for? :) ((hug))
