“Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.”

I have often pondered this quote and reminded myself that I should never give up when pursuing anything of worth. But then I question the actual worth of what I am pursuing. Is it a worthy pursuit? Or a futile one?

When does my own stubbornness overshadow my objectivity? Often I fear. But how do I measure those pursuits objectively? Can I? Do I?

I often feel defeated, but still do not give up. Is it only to avoid a different approach, or something altogether different or previously avoided?

Often I am faced with situations, or choices that have no clear, rational solution. Where a decision has to be made and there is no "right" answer. Often I chose the answer that was "right" for me at the time. But times change......should my answer change accordingly?

Options, the world has brought us to a time where we have many. Too many sometimes.

This is when I wonder if "one-payer" healthcare will cover my therapy, lol.
