Today I had a crazy thought I would love to share. For some time now I have found myself wanting so many new things out of life, found myself for the first time in my short life looking ahead and trying to get myself set up for the things that I truly want out of life as well as do in life. This in a way has engulfed my person, to the point that I began to lose touch with the things that at that point right in front of me were so great.
Does this mean that wanting these things is unjust? (This is where it gets interesting.)
Wanting these things is ok; it is how you let it affect your motivations and attitudes that become blurry. I know the things I want, and continuously found myself feeling very out of touch with being able to get them. In our fast pace society, were we look for immediate satisfaction it is easy to begin to get frustrated with where you are at now and where you will be tomorrow, in a week and in a month. This short term mind set was holding me down and drowning me in a pool of Desire. But still I wanted, and this circle of frustration only built upon its self to a point that I completely lost touch with the knowledge I already possessed to get towards these things. Losing sight of the fact that the Journey, the Path we ride along, takes us through many different emotions along the way of getting to the things and places we want and desire. And at the same time not losing touch with appreciating what we already have gained along the way. In this I mean the things we have accomplished, people we have befriended, people we love, they all play a huge role. You learn everything from these relationships and owe everything to these relationships.
And so now with this, what is the toughest part is the Path, the road is never smooth and easy going, things are going to be hard, but what makes a man is the way in which he deals with this along the way. Keeps in sight what is good, uses what is not to press harder towards where he wants to be and puts a smile on along the way.
