people concern themselves with whether they've done enough in life (or for some, too much). there's worry about regrets, and regrets about paths not taken. with so much emphasis on opportunities not taken, it's easy to lose sight of the positive impact of things that have happened.
you should do what you can, and enjoy what you do.
I've found myself increasingly accepting of the pitfalls I face, and in some cases, appreciative of the chance to learn something, about myself, or about large heavy objects falling on my toe. it's proven infectious and addictive to study my mistakes with a sense of curiosity and amusement rather than distress.
but then, maybe my illness has made a masochist out of me. regardless, I remain at least slightly optimistic that I will live to see a trend of ditching the sadness, anger, and despair that poisons so much of our species.
