I had this urge to blog today, however the reason for this urge was unknown to me. As was the topic I was going to write about. So I sat eating lunch thinking about what it is that is happening around me and what I feel about it. And this is what I decided I need to blog about.
Everyone's (and I mean everyone) life is a work in progress. Whether you've achieved you life goal or not, there is always a feeling of progression. Or in some cases lack there of. Each thing that you experience, each mood you feel and each thought you think teaches you to take a step in a direction, it may not be the right direction, but its still a step taken. The choices we make are like a labyrinth of roads, at any time there is a way to get back to the road that you wanted to be on. Sometimes it takes a u-turn, sometimes a side street or sometimes a shortcut. Each of us are our own person on our own paths trying to get to a destination. Your life is yours, and no one should force you to be or do something you are not. More importantly, there should be no validity for anyone's negative comments concerning your path. Certain things aren't choices and are just who we are.
“When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing, we are fighting a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil. As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed. Indeed life is a have to defend and protect ourselves, and with a cheerful and brace spirit we must battle; we plan and calculate in order to make progress.”
Vincent van Gogh
What you say is right. Your destiny depends on the decisions that you make & don't let people sway you to what they think is right when it might not be right for you.
ReplyDeleteWhatever your decision right or wrong is a learning curve as long as you learn from your mistakes.
This is some very deep thought here. Sounds like you had some hard decisions to make.
