It’s hard to realize it most of the time, but sometimes life throws things at me and I freak out. But, when I do freak out, I have to keep reminding myself that I just have to “go with the flow” and let things happen naturally.
There’s no use to try to fight what is happening before my eyes.
From my daily calendar:
“It is a mistake to look too far ahead.
Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.”
– Winston Churchill
Sometimes I forget that I need to just take everything one step at a time. After all, if I rush towards the finish line, how can I enjoy everything?
Which path is best for me?
Time spent inside an office toiling away with filing/typing/etc.
or
Time spent outside at a hot dog cart talking with people, enjoying the weather, etc.?
An office job generally pays more in terms of hourly rate, but I get pretty good tips at the hot dog cart, too.
Why does everyone keep on insisting that a “cushy” job is the way to go? Why is working at a hot dog stand so “unfavorable”?
I am stuck with looking at two paths that I am asked to choose between. Why do these things continually happen?
I was handed a twist in life today, and it caused me to think too hard and fret over the situation. Lately it seems that I cannot turn to friends from back home for advice; they’re all either too busy or they have moved on from our friendship. So I have been confiding more in my siblings; and with this I have been able to see that it really is true: in the end, family only matters.
Friends come and go, but the family I was born with will always be there for me. Of course I realize for each individual things may be different; others may have families that are broken. I am thankful though to have a family that has always been caring and loving.
I am beginning to feel restless again; getting back into the swing of things here has been easy, but I feel like I am missing something as well.
I don’t regret anything that has happened in the past year; despite the rollercoaster times, I feel that everything happens for a reason.
Still, I wonder now, should I move on and find another outlet to pursue?
