Sometimes it's the Universe, and sometimes it's ME. That's my philosophy in a nutshell. This showed up in a conversation a little while ago...

my conversation partner: I mean, sometimes you just get thrown shit. Life sucks. Sorry.
me: True enough. But sometimes it's all over you because you're digging in it.
me: That's the hint I'd love to throw out there.
me: When you get deep enough that it's up to your nostrils, guys, don't inhale.

Sometimes it's the Universe, and sometimes it's ME.

I generally believe that's close to 50/50, leaning a little heavier on the ME side at times.

I have no idea how I'd assign percentages. There are sages out there who'd probably say it's 100% on the ME side. I don't know...

That's funny, we were just talking about you...
...kidding. Not in the least, we weren't. But hey, if you can take something from it, go for it. Me, I think sometimes I not only inhale, I wallow. Trick is figuring out when I'm doing that and when I'm doing something that's hard but right.
