Who said that your problems are worse than theirs or vice versa? I have never believed no matter what I'm going through that my roadblocks are more important than those of others. I do believe and have learned recently that when something comes up deal with it to the best of your ability and move ahead, because as I've been told, no one wants to hear you whine over and over. Situations affect us all in very different ways. What is on the top of one persons list might be on the bottom of another list, and what is that last thought of one person might be the top priority of another.
Every day we pray, wish, hope that we can reach the goal that we have set out for ourselves. Some things surprise us, some situations take us by surprise, and some moments take our breath away so much that it inspires us to strive for more. Crossroads appear in life, and as soon as you pick which way to go, roadblocks pop up. Those mean take a step back and re evaluate your situation. I imagine once the doubt is cleared you keep moving forward.
I heard a great quote the other day :
"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't." So true. Our inner voice tells us what it is we want, and what it is that we need to do, but so many things attribute doubt that you double guess your happiness. All I know is if you don't shed your shells, end up where you would like, keep the people that fulfill you close it will be difficult to reach true happiness, and I was told "Get it straight, and welcome to life!" It's funny you know ...I see my self as an observer. I listen...YES I DO...and try to take in different views. We live in such a diverse world full of so many incredible people, things, opportunities, it would just be uneducated to not to not listen, view, try, you get the point.
Friends are our new families. As we get older, and enjoy our immediate family, we also realize as we make our own lives that family becomes extended with friends, because in the end as we all get older that is the new generation family that will be by your side. I miss my extended family, and slowly settling back home, I look forward to catching up with everyone in Florida.
Thank you all for your observations. Keep them coming.
