Ever think you're in a fantasy since things seems too good to be true?

Sometimes when I’m in a really perfect part of nature, it seems to beautiful to be real.

No, I just wonder why I’m so lucky when others aren’t.

Nope, that hasn’t happened for me yet.

Only when I’m tripping out on LSD.

Yes, I have had some amazing highs in my life, believe it…ENJOY the good times!

LIFE is quite the adventure…I look at things from this perspective, as if I am a character in an unfinished novel where anything can happen!

Yeah, that happens right before everything goes to absolute super-shit, according to my experience.

Yep! A few times in my life while awake, but most of the time it happened when I was asleep. :D

Aside from having the perfect woman (for me) as my wife, my life is closer to a nightmare.
I lost my career that I loved.
I live in constant pain.
I can’t sleep in a bed like a normal person.
I live where I do because I can’t afford to live elsewhere.
I have an old car that will die on me within a couple of years and then I will not even be able to leave town to buy groceries.
In nine years my disability income will be cut off and I will have to live on old age security (much less that I get now).
My physical condition is expected to continue to deteriorate.

Definitely not too good to be true!

Somehow I still manage to get out of bed each day and try to appreciate what I have.
Usually I succeed.

This has never happened to me in a positive way. But a lot of the things @Dr_Lawrence listed apply to me, too, and I have occasionally wondered if I’m just a character in some writer’s mind that they abuse in order to feel better about their life.

Yes, then i wake up!

No I don’t.
Each morning I awake I make sure I am going to have a good day.
My choice.
Reality, not fantasy

I do. I chalk it up to being an adult child from a dysfunctional family.

Many times – long ago.

Great question! I’ve felt that way a few times, just totally elated and thinking it was too good to be true. Sometimes I’ve wanted something for a really, really long time that I thought I could never have- and then finally gotten it and been incredulous. But the feeling of “holy shit, can this be real?” doesn’t ruin the moment, it just adds to it.

A favorite teacher of mine..Eckhart Tolle speaks of this…

He says that the feeling of satisfaction at attaining something desired is not about the actual obtaining…be it a Porsche or a lover…it is that, for a brief moment, the egoic mind is stilled…the ‘wanting’ is never about the obtaining, it is about the stilling of ego’s never ending quest for ‘more.’

This is the state most humans exist in….not truly able to be happy and fully present with the oment, but always in search of the one thing that is felt to be needed for completion.

Love Tolle.
Yes this is a daily CHOICE

Anything else is a waste of your precious life

We MAKE our Life what it is
