Can You Really Change The Path Your Life Will take?

Can You Really Change The Path Your Life will take or is it all preordained? Its something I have been thinking about a lot latterly. It often feels to me that many outcomes are a little to predictable at times as if one had a form clavoyance. Sometimes I don’t always seem to be able to keep a rational measured view on things. At times I have felt as there some strange force guiding me but also shutting certain doors and opening others. perhaps really it is just my subconscious, but it can feel like an external force almost. At my lowest ebb I have felt there is some malign force trying to knock me back when I get too cocky. Perhaps we simply have a need to apportion blame to avoid taking responsibility for our own destiny or rather the outcome of our decisions’. I have run in to an odd problem with a project that may well be simply due to me making a couple of mistakes due to a lack of concentration which hopefully I may now have fixed and whilst I know logically it’s just a mistake again my mind wants to interpret it as some sort of malign elemental force standing between me and victory.
I suspect it’s not though. My body clock is out of kilter so sleep is not so good at present as I am dreaming a lot and waking up tired too.

Currently I am having a weird problem with a release through soundclouds distro system where it keeps telling me that the audio language is incorrect. I have checked everything about 4 times now. There was an error which I have corrected but it seems not to have made any difference. If they don’t sort it out soon I will have to use a different platform I think. It’s odd as I have never had problems with them before.

When I have a problem I tend to get stuck and totally obsessed with it, it s a real nuisance at times for me. I feel it stems from a lack of control in my earlier life as a child when I was bullied and there was also a lot of gaslighting. Eventually I ended up with a belief system that if something went wrong it was always due to malicious intent or somebody trying to stop me from doing something. Sometimes it may have been but as time went by then usually it was not. Unfortunately my subconscious has never quite recovered from those fixed ideations. So one little upset when I am feeling fragile sets me off again. The worst part is that I really struggle to shift the focus of my attentions elsewhere.

The Spirit of 67

So I am 67 years and tears and fears old today. The world is looking very dangerous and unstable again.
Will we be in a 3rd world war by 2027? I could see it happening. Grim.
I am just sitting here feeling extra special crazy today.

Be that as it may at least for today life goes on or rather some lives do for the lucky ones.
I have been putting a lot of effort into working on various musical stuff in the last month and today my concentration is completely gone. My brain feels a bit fried as in more so than usual to be honest.

Fluffy Pink Dream Land

Here are chatGPTs reasons or excuses… Not entirely convincing to be honest.

People can let you down and disappoint for various reasons, and it’s essential to recognize that individuals are complex and influenced by different factors. Here are some common reasons why people may let you down:

And here is a song: Fluffy Pink Dreamland
Just for you 🙂

  1. Communication breakdown:
  • Misunderstandings and lack of clear communication can lead to unmet expectations and disappointment.
  • Unrealistic expectations:
  • Sometimes, people may not be aware of your expectations, or they may have unrealistic expectations themselves, leading to disappointment when reality doesn’t align with those expectations.
  • Different priorities:
  • People have different priorities in life, and what might be important to you may not hold the same significance for someone else. This misalignment can lead to letdowns.
  • Lack of commitment:
  • Some individuals may struggle with commitment, whether it’s to relationships, responsibilities, or promises. This can result in disappointment when they fail to follow through.
  • Personal issues:
  • Everyone faces personal challenges and difficulties. External factors such as stress, health issues, or personal problems can impact someone’s ability to meet expectations.
  • Incompatibility:
  • Differences in values, goals, or lifestyles can lead to disappointment, especially when those differences become apparent over time.
  • Selfishness:
  • Some people may prioritize their needs and desires over others, leading to actions that let others down.
  • Lack of empathy:
  • Insufficient understanding or empathy towards your feelings and needs can result in behavior that causes disappointment.
  • Poor time management:
  • Some people struggle with managing their time effectively, leading to delays, missed deadlines, or unfulfilled promises.
  • Fear of commitment or failure:
    • Fear can hinder people from fully committing to relationships or responsibilities, causing them to let others down to avoid potential failure or disappointment.
  • Changing circumstances:
    • Life is dynamic, and unexpected changes in circumstances, such as job loss or family issues, can affect someone’s ability to fulfill commitments.
  • Lack of accountability:
    • Some individuals may find it challenging to take responsibility for their actions or admit when they fall short, contributing to disappointment.

It’s important to approach these situations with empathy, understanding that people may have their own struggles and reasons for their actions. Open communication and managing expectations can help mitigate disappointment in relation

But maybe sometimes….
