I have an obsessive personality. Meaning I like to do the same thing over and over until I am sick of it. The reason is I don't want to yearn for anything. I can listen to a new song for a week straight. Then I get sick of it and don't listen to music at all. If I crave sushi, I go eat it for a whole week straight so I don't crave it. Little did I know that this concept is written in Tuesdays With Morrie. It's called Detachment.

What it means is you fully accept what is going on in front of you and enjoy it, rather than agonize it. Then you move on. When I was a teenager, I really like this girl. Instead of telling myself don't like her because it won't get anywhere, I think about her day and left until I'm bored of her. Of course I wasn't bored of her because I have a romantic view in life (or at least I like to think I have a romantic view).

It's the same thing when hanging out with friends. Since you are there anyway, might as well enjoy the situation rather than be a sore sport. I guaranteed that if you approach your life in any situation with such an attitude, those around you will enjoy your pretense and everyone will have a great time.

Before you think you can't do it, you can. Everyone can. It's hard at first, you just need a little practice. It's hard being a slave but majority of us are slaves to corporations and moneys so it's not that hard to be enjoy yourself to the fullest at any situation.
