I feel disposed to write about "Missing Links" as this can be an occupational hazard / challenge on the road of the "Good Life". Missing links can be frustrating for everyone in all walks of life and at all stages of life. They often eventually reveal themselves sooner or later. Even when they don't, their relevance has usually passed, as has their significance.
Now, what are the sort of links that go missing? They can be many and varied, sometimes words, sometimes ideas, sometimes thought processes, sometimes emotions, sometimes relating to memories. The fact that the link goes missing, whether temporarily or long term, can cause a moment or two or even longer, of disruption / consternation. However, it is important to try and adapt as quickly as possible to the new situation, without the unrecalled, yet real, link that is missing.
Sometimes, although a thought process is interrupted, due to a missing link, it is possible that this may be advantageous, provided that the frustration associated with it can be quickly overcome. The potential advantage, is that the brain has to devise another strategy for dealing with this new found situation. It helps, if one can get oneself into a long-term positive mindset. This then ensures that every set back, while being acknowledged as such, is still seen as an opportunity, to draw on the hidden resources that the brain and ones personality can muster. This positive attitude, if able to be adopted, will help to overcome the disadvantage of no longer having the "Missing Links".
