When LC = BP, a person is fullfilled and happy. When LC doesn't equal BP, and the person feels helpless to make a change, they are headed for unhappinness. LC stands for 'life conditionp, and BP stands for our 'blueprint' or our expectation about how life should be. What if your life is not where you want it to be? You have two choices, you can change your love condition.
For example, if you current life condition means working a job, or you can alter the meaning you give to the position you currently hold. Or even better, you can change both.
Remember, it is when a person feels that things can never be different that they suffer despair. It is important to realize we are always in control of the meaning we give to our experiences.
Consider for a momment the life of Nelson Mandela. Spending more than two decades suffering injustice as he was held in prison, there was little he could do to modify his circumstances. However, he was fully in command of the meaning he would give those years, in fact sharing that he saw them not as suffering but as preparation for the day he would lead South Africa out of apartheid.
Unlike Templeton on Hannibal, he found an empowering meaning behind his experience, and thus lived a life of fullfillment, realize that in a moment of decision you can find happiness by changing your life condition or your blueprint, and perhaps even both. It's World in my mind.
