I have been thinking about this one for a very long time, and I am sure
most of you have done the same thing, but one day you wake up and its as
if the answer is right there at your finger tips, and you wonder why it
is you never figured it out before, and once you do figure you out, you
realize how very uncomplicated life really is.
We really do try too hard in our lives, searching for explanations to
everything, when in reality there isn't always an answer for everything,
and the sooner we accept that, the sooner our lives will become less
complicated as well.
If we all could just take life one day at a time and not try to look so
far into the future, that we forget to live each day as it comes, that
would be a very good place to start, and there would be less
disappointment when things didn't go as we had planned as well.
Perhaps if we just would stop and look into our hearts, and say the
things that we wanted to say without fear of repercussions from those
around us, we could move forward and not keep clinging to a past, that
while it has made us who we are, can also be damaging to us at times.
We are who we are because of how we were brought up, and how we
responded to that by either letting it become the goals we now set for
ourselves, or by learning from the mistakes that were made and moving on
with this knowledge, to become a better person because of it.
So many times we try to convince ourselves that we want what we can't
have, while we seem to ignore the importance of all the good we already
have in our lives, and this only can leave us dissatisfied and not very
happy in the end.
Life is about learning, and putting what we learn to good use, and
making the best of a good or a bad situation, and sharing what we have
learned with others, in the hope we can help bring them some kind of
peace and serenity in their own lives.
Once we accept who we are, and understand our possibilities as well as
our limitations, we can finally live a life that will be as rewarding as
we could have dreamed, and we will be spending less time procrastinating
about what to do next.
My mother always use to tell me, "Life is what you make of it",
and her words still stick with me today, and although there are times
that I myself even may cave into defeat, I remember her words once
again, and I resolve to try to live by them.
