So, what went wrong? People often blame the task being too hard, their lack of talent, or not enough discipline. These reasons sound reasonable, but each of us has strengths and discipline in different areas. So, what's the real issue?

The problem usually comes down to not fully understanding what we're trying to achieve, which means we aren't ready for what it actually takes to succeed. We often have big ideas about what it means to be great or master something, and this can lead us to either avoid trying or quit too soon.

Finding joy in little things means being thankful and happy with what you have, even if it seems small or unimportant. It can also mean finding purpose in everyday tasks and enjoying simple pleasures. By staying in the moment and having a positive outlook, you can find joy in even the most ordinary situations.

I remember wooden escalators in shops like Woolworth's when I was a kid. There are still a few on the London Underground (or there were when I lived there, may have been replaced by now I suppose.)

Try practicing mindfulness. Mindfulness means being fully in the moment without judgment. You can practice it through activities like meditation, yoga, or simply taking deep breaths and focusing on what's around you.

Pause and enjoy the beauty in your surroundings, whether it's a sunset, a flower, or a kind gesture. It can be as easy as smelling the flowers or watching a sunset.

Trying new things can open your eyes to new joys. Consider taking a cooking class, going for a hike, or visiting a museum. The excitement of something new can bring happiness.

Building and nurturing close relationships with friends and family can bring joy and a sense of connection. Invest time in meaningful conversations and activities you both enjoy.

Laughter and enjoying the silly or absurd can brighten your mood and bring happiness. Watch a funny movie, share jokes with friends, or simply find humor in everyday moments.

Wow, great idea. A really cool brewery/theatre/entertainment business near me has a big honor box in the bathroom filled with boxes of narcan. Sucks that it’s at all necessary, but cool to provide it.

Poor little fellow, it it frightened and alone. This type of birds needs at least one other to feel happy and safe. And the cord hangs too low, tailfeathers should not be bend. "Like other members of the genus Aratinga, the sun conure is very social and typically occurs in large flocks of 15 to 30 individuals. They rarely leave the flock, but when they get separated from the group, they squawk and scream in a high-pitched voice, which can carry for hundreds of yards, allowing individuals to communicate with their flock and return to them." So this is not cute, but pure torture for the bird.
