Lily Tomlin Quote:

Lily Tomlin Quote

What’s Up With Pooj?

In a recent post, I was talking about how I was feeling kind of down. I was still feeling like that so I went to see my therapist today which was really helpful. Turns out I was having what is commonly referred to as an existential crisis. Fun, right? Anyway, the good thing is that she helped talk me off the ledge and helped me see how this just means I’m growing as a person. Sure, I have to give up some dreams but that makes room for new dreams. It doesn’t mean I have to give up dreams permanently.

And that’s why I chose this quote. The world is constantly changing and sometimes that means we have to change our dreams too. And that’s okay. We can’t be so rigid in a world that’s forever evolving. We have to go with the flow.

Shoutout to my therapist for being really great at her job. She’s the first therapist I’ve found that’s genuinely been super helpful. If anyone wants to work with her she does online appointments too so doesn’t matter what country you’re in. This isn’t sponsored or anything, I just think she’s great and if she can help others that’s awesome. Plus, it may be cheaper for those of you living in countries with really expensive healthcare. Anyway, email me if you’re interested and I’ll forward you her contact.

    A good therapist is a God send. And once there is a healthy rapport, things tend to work out rather well.
    That Lilly Tomlin qoute is very profound.. factual. 🤔

    I’m so glad that your therapist is super-helpful, Pooja. I love the Lily Tomlin quote. Another quote I read somewhere which may also be helpful is ‘The only thing that remains constant in the world is change.’ Be kind to yourself. 💕

    It’s a good quotation. You find good quotations. I’m gratified to know your therapist was and is so helpful. I’m happy you feel directed in your life, after meeting with her. Adaptationin life (dealing with construction) I think is realistic.

    I had a counselor who helped me through my first, tough times with heart disease. Frankly, we would be meeting still except he died. He had also become a good friend, so I have a number of reasons to miss him. But he was helpful when things were first going deeply wrong.

    I hope you’re all right working out a satisfying direction for yourself and also acquiring the resources to get there. Certainly, your therapist is great at getting you going.

    The road to success is always under construction and so are the Dallas highways. But seriously, it is a great quote. When you are young it is difficult to know what you want to do with your life and what is important to you will change with age and life events. A friend of mine who has been a successful accountant his entire life just lost his wife to an unexpected illness and now he feels that his job is not making him happy either. He doesn’t want the life he has and he is looking to start over.

      Haha, thanks. Yes, I think often life is very unexpected and can throw us off. Sometimes we have to start over even if it is later in life. It’s sad your friend went through that but I hope he is able to find a path that makes him happy.

    Love the quote! She’s right. There are always challenges and things are always changing! That doesn’t mean it’s not worth it! I’m planning to go to all the Easter Church services even if they aren’t at St. Cat’s. I want to attend Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and, of course, Easter Sunday at St. Cat’s. I’m going to have to travel for Thursday – Saturday, but that’s ok. I haven’t attended all the services in many years. I’m excited.

    Lily Tomlin performed at a dinner theater I tended bar at in the early 1970’s. She was very “cool”, “hip”. And, my Psych-girl saved my life. However, the “existential crisis” never ends – just goes a way from time-to-time. Take care of yourself. And … yeah. Cheers.

    Love Lily Tomlin and this quote is pure gold!! Not only blocked roads, but constant loud drilling, mixed signals, dust and commotion … all of which is a disaster/nightmare for an introvert. I could “hear” in your voice you feeling down and I’m wondering what dream you are “having” to give up? Your therapist sounds beneficial, so glad you are feeling better and better days to come!
