"When I’m up with the sunrise, I want more than just blue skies. I want more than just ok, more than just ok." This is my theme song for life. More Than Fine by Switchfoot. "I want more than just okay" in my life.
So it's decision time again. There's lots of things to think about...what to do....what to do..... So, here's the thing. This little adventure of mine that I call life has come to a fork. More like a fork with appendage forks.....At any rate, it's time to make some choices and head down some paths. I find that I have recently had some safe and stable paths presented before me. The tricky thing is...is that I am also being tempted with possibilities. This is where the path analogy loses relevance on some level. These possibilities are the dreams. There is the hope and possibility that they could come about for me....unfortunately....(back to the path/fork analogy) I can't see from here how the "possibility" paths turn out. Do they come to a dead end? Then what? Will I have ruined all my chances and be left with no path? At any rate, I have to make a choice between stability and hope right now.
Back to the song, "More than fine, more than bent on getting by. More than fine, more than just ok."
Somethings are worth the risk. Sometimes you just have to roll the dice and go for it. It's come to that for me. That's the point of being young right? I still count as that for a little bit longer. Why head down a path I don't want to go, just because it's safe? What's the point if it's not what I want? The trick is, we have to decide and we will never know what would've happened had we chosen a different direction. But sometimes you gotta leap! I know what I want! and I'm going to hold out for it! "I’m not giving up, giving up, not giving up now.
I’m not giving up, giving up, not backing down.
....you'll get it better if you listen to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxiYRx55g1c
This is a pretty inspiring post, my dear. You do have to leap. You do have to be brave. Remember too, that even when the safe path may be ordinary and familiar, you're an extraordinary person.
