I had a remarkable flying career.
if your physical appearance is the yardstick you measure yourself with, you have done nothing extraordinary in your life. People who’s self-worth is attached to their appearance don’t have other accomplishments to balance the scale. I can fly planes, drive boats, make beautiful pieces of art, those things are exceptional. I’ve been so sad this winter my hair started to fall out, I gained weight, do I measure myself by that, no. That is a symptom of me being in the wrong place and stress, not who I am. If your life’s scale is solely things that can be physically put on it, like weight and money, your life isn’t worth measuring. On the other hand if you’ve learned to fly and are a mariner, those things can’t be measured on ordinary peoples scales, because they are immeasurable.
