We live in an instantaneous world. We expect to get what we want, when we want it. But that doesn't work for everything. What happened to patience? What happened to working hard for what we want? Remember the old saying, all good things take some time? I believe that to be very true indeed. I personally enjoy the feeling of hard work, stepping back and seeing all of my efforts pay off. Sure, it's nice to have things at the click of a button but that simply doesn't work for everything.
When I step back and really evaluate my life and choices, quite often some of the best moments in my life did not start out as easy. They placed me down roads I did not care to go down initially. I have fallen, I have cried out in frustration, but you know what? It all turned out okay in the end. I got back up, dusted myself off and pressed forward. It's so easy to get lost in the sorrow, but we can't get stuck there. Shake it off, take a deep breath, and place one foot in front of the other. Nothing remains the same forever.
All of the trying times have led me to where I am now. They all had a lesson to teach. As long as you listen and learn, chalk it up to a life lesson, an adventure even. One day, you may be able to look back and have a laugh.
Life is short, Make the most of it, Smile, dance, laugh, cry, yell. Do whatever you have too, but never forget life is an adventure. Sit back, buckle in, and enjoy it.
