If we stand still, we watch the world move around us.
If we are moving, we pass by the world.
For as much of a planner as I am. I don’t think I’ve ever had a life plan. I know people who list out all these milestones, major life to-do’s on college ruled paper as though all these tasks are a grocery list – to be checked off as they are dropped into a cart. I feel bad for anyone whose life is so prescribed. Degrees, jobs, love, marriage, kids, houses, lifestyle, and all that jazz shouldn’t be a laundry list of accomplishments and yet I see so many people queue up and subscribe to the recipe of life - a pinch of this, a dash of that, stir, strain, and bake on 375 F for 45 minutes and voila! life!
I am a control freak. Generally. Yet, I’m feel less control-y lately. I think I’ve finally realized you can try to control anything, but you can’t control the outcome – you can just control how you handle the outcome. The concept of balance and a positive attitude is something I’m understanding more. If you let things get you down, they will. They always will. Guaranteed. There is something to be said for wearing rose colored glasses while you decide when to stand still and when to move forward…
perspective is everything.
and nothing at the same time.
