Is there ever really a flat line; a point where everything in your life is so
smooth that you need a "Beware slippery floor" sign above it just to walk on? There
really never is. At least not in my life. There are kinks and bumps you have to
get over. I have managed to convince myself that they are the real motivation
for going through each day. But don’t we ever get tired? Don’t we get tired of chasing dreams that can’t
give us a break once in a while. The truth is we all want something. Nobody needs
anything. The desire for something is what makes us want to continue living. Otherwise the illusion of an inflated want is sometimes called a need. It’s all just a game of want and desire. The only reason we continue playing is because we
have seen others win and tell us we can win too and we get the hopeful feeling that we actually might.
So sometimes, fortunes does heed our call when we least
expect it and throws in opportunities we didn’t see coming. Then we are left
wondering what to do. In the moments we do take them and ride with them, its
starts to feel pretty comfortable and we take them for granted. Responsibilities
emerge. Choices descend. It’s not all a
bed of roses anymore. You can either change the world with your new opportunity
or let it change you.
The price of progress is perseverance. I don’t want to sound
all Jesse Jackson here but it true. The road definitely gets rocky but the
journey cannot be thrown off the cliff.
