| silverlion | happy new year jono | 22:43 |
| jono | hey silverlion | 22:43 |
| jono | happy new year! | 22:43 |
| jono | how are you doing? | 22:46 |
| silverlion | jono, me? well tbh I'm struggeling with life atm | 22:55 |
| silverlion | no clue what 2k15 will bring for me | 22:55 |
| jono | silverlion, oh no | 22:55 |
| jono | sorry to hear that | 22:55 |
| silverlion | appreciate that | 22:55 |
| jono | I have no doubt that 2015 will bring great things | 22:56 |
| jono | life is what you make it | 22:56 |
| silverlion | havent been able to actively contribute | 22:56 |
| jono | and the lens you look through | 22:56 |
| silverlion | right. didn't say that I surrendered | 22:56 |
| silverlion | ;) | 22:56 |
| jono | right | 22:56 |
| jono | but you said you were struggling | 22:56 |
| jono | and I am sure you will win the struggle :-) | 22:57 |
| jono | I think the hardest bit is knowing what you want to achieve | 22:57 |
| silverlion | well life like I see it at the moment is kind of a game of poker | 22:57 |
| jono | and knowing which questions to ask | 22:58 |
| jono | poker? | 22:58 |
| silverlion | yeah. you need to assess what your opponent (life) has in his hands (which cards) | 22:58 |
| silverlion | and then find a strategy to succeed | 22:58 |
| jono | I see it a little differently | 22:59 |
| jono | I look at what is within my sphere of influence | 22:59 |
| jono | what can I control and influence to achieve my goals | 22:59 |
| silverlion | that's why we do have freedom of speech ;) | 22:59 |
| belkinsa | o/ jono! | 22:59 |
| jono | most people tend to look at the problems that face them and feel pretty powerless | 22:59 |
| jono | hey belkinsa! | 22:59 |
| silverlion | well I guess we're not that far from each other | 22:59 |
| jono | whereas invariably the sphere of influence helps us to crack the problems | 23:00 |
| jono | silverlion, indeed | 23:00 |
| jono | I have had a few cases over there years where I have felt the challenges are too great | 23:00 |
| jono | that insurmountable problems stand in the way of success | 23:00 |
| jono | often driven by specific people | 23:00 |
| silverlion | I was going to write that to archieve your personal win or the pot of pokerchips you need to control what you can influence | 23:00 |
| jono | but that was me looking to much at the area outside my sphere of influence | 23:00 |
| jono | silverlion, indeed | 23:01 |
| jono | and when we think about what we can influence, there is an awful lot :-) | 23:01 |
| jono | most importantly, the way in which we react and handle our own actions | 23:01 |
| silverlion | jono, especially when we do overcome personal dislikes and accept help even from those you don't like | 23:02 |
| jono | silverlion, yup | 23:03 |
