Seems like the harder I try at something the LESS likely it is to happen.
My WHOLE life can be summed up in that sentence right there. It's been that way since I was a child.
It's like quicksand, the harder you struggle the faster you go down.
And other people can't understand it because when they put effort into something they usually get a positive gain.
You get to the point where you don't want to try anymore.
And actually, I have found that with some things if I take a "hands off" approach I can get a little something but it still isn't what other people get.
For many years I blamed myself but I don't anymore because I think part of it is supernatural. I think that some people have a repellent energy.
Hey, I'm the biggest cynic out there and an agnostic but who is to say that different people don't have different energies and the energies are either working for or against the person?!?!?
I mean, we can't see gravity and it's a force that affects each and every one of us everyday!
There are lots of people who get out of bed, fart, piss, get dressed, and get lots of rewards for just showing up! I am NOT one of those people.
The reason I got into Charles Bukowski is because he has that statement on his tombstone "don't try". It's a bit hypocritical because of course he did try a little but at the same time he really seemed to struggle in life and never did get the fame and fortune of other writers.
But after a lifetime of being around people who have said repeatedly "try harder"(because that always works for them.) It was refreshing to see someone say "don't try". lol
