Life sometimes really makes you wonder about destiny/fate. When you look at two people’s lives, you have to wonder about how much of what YOU do affects what happens in your life.
Do you take command of situations that happen to you? Are you proactive in your life, or are you just along for the ride? How come bad things always seem to happen to good people? There are so many questions like this, they’re pretty impossible to answer.
I try to look at the good in everything, and not dwell on the past too much. Shit happens, and either you move on or you don’t. Sounds pretty blunt and black and white, and I know it really isn’t. It is more complex than that, but you really have to take the lumps ya get.
It’s gets to a point where things happen in your life and you have to take a good hard look at what is going on. It’s like, “Hmm this has happened to me 3 or 4 times already, what is the one factor that never changes?” And most often, the answer is YOU.
When do people have that “A-Ha!” moment when they actually decide to look into themselves for the answer, and not other people around them. When do you have the moment of inner reflection and ask yourself the hard questions?
When it happens the first time, it’s like, “Alright, that sucks. Life sucks, but we move on.” We weren’t meant to be doing this, this will lead to better things. But when it happens continuously and it’s the same complaints.. and reasons? Then you gotta figure out why.
