Vacation season is over, a new season has begun. After some initial resistance, we all understand that, and we seem to have fallen back into habit. The continual circle of action, essentially doing the same thing over and over again, becoming lost in the minutia of it all. Where is the excitement?
Habits can bring us to an unhappy place, where we consequentially losing our own sense of objective. I know what you’re saying… “There is no avoiding these habits; I have to make a living; I have to continue my formal education.” You aren’t wrong, for now. Remember why you’re doing everything. Remember why. Remember that you aren’t a slave to the world. Remember. Do whatever you have to, to continue to remember.
Everything you are doing right now will contribute to your future in a big way. You might not see that now, but you will as time passes. Resist the temptation to fall into the trap of being what people expect you to be, doing only what you’re expected to do, and chasing only what others say is important.
Now is a time for redefinition. The longer you hold on to the past, the worse you are making your current situation. You are not your past, no matter how attractive or terrible it might be; you are your future. You are who you are right now. Nothing is in set stone. The state of things is always changing, no matter who you are or where you might be in life.
We like to think that we have everything figured out, but the truth is that we have no idea, no idea at all. The best we can do is prepare for what’s to come, to anticipate but never predict.
