I just ran across this and wondered what you thought of it. On target or totally bogus?


"Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are."

I'd say on target.

People waste a lot of life trying to fit square pegs in round holes.
When you recognize that you're a square peg, and stop trying to be something else, life becomes a whole lot simpler.

If who you think you SHOULD be is not who you are, then yes it it TENSION!
I find that I get a pain in the jaw and neck headache when I try too hard to fit in the mold I think I should be. Who I am is a great person, too!

I once heard of a saying, "May you live in interesting times." It's supposed to be more of a curse than anything, which puts a strange twist on "interesting".
