I don’t think it will ever cease to amaze me how easy it is to be lead by fear. Living our lives by the possible failures, losses. We’re constantly fed the notion of positive energy leading to positive outcomes. I, personally, believe that to be true. But, reality says more often than not that failure is just as necessary a tool to find success. The point, of course, being to avoid resignation. All of this is true. To succeed we must fail. To live we must risk. To be happy we must create our own positive energy. How? If we equate the idea of failure to be equal with pain and the avoidance of pain is what drives us, where then does true success and happiness come into play? We cope. We allow the feelings (good or bad) to be true and full and hopefully not permanent. We accept and love each occurance to be what it is, good or bad because it’s the feeling of risk and chance that ultimately makes us feel alive right? Right?
I’m at crossroads. I believe I’ve been at this fork for some time. Inching forward; anticipating and yet hesitating every step. Big decisions lie ahead. Of course, i hope to make the right ones. That’s the scary part though. How do you know it’s right until…it is? Everything I want, everything I’ve hoped for, it’s all in front of me. Now to choose a direction. I haven’t made my decision yet. All I know for sure is that it’s coming and it’s going to be big…

okay, so it begs the question: does being at a crossroads necessarily require a decision? i too have stood at the crossroads, and, most recently, have relished even making it there. because there are some paths we travel that never connect to others…they’re linear and solitary, and the only way to choose another is to re-tread old ground. are you re-treading just because you’re at the crossroads? do you have to choose just because you’ve reached one? regardless…i’m with you. taking the dive and making a decision, whether it’s good or bad or consistent or whatever…we can’t live to the fullest without making them. whatever the decisions you make…might as well make them big, don’t you think?
CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
While that’s dorky and doesn’t seem as genuine as the post deserves, it truly is the only way to make it through times like this.
The wisdom, power and courage are in you. In the end, that’s all that matters.
Focus instead of living by love and you will do no worng. *hugs*
Wrong! Wrong!
