Current mood:  awake
Category: Life
It often occurs, across the spectrum of human lifestyles and endeavors, that one realizes that the life they are living is not the life that they wish to live. That they, are not who they wish to be, that the lives that they may have dreamed of at an earlier stage in life have not manifest in the manner in which they, we, might have wished.
Looking back upon one's life, the accomplishments stand out, certainly, but it is often the failures that lead us to dark places of regret and realization as our shortcomings as individuals become manifestly clear. The path leading back through memories is often fraught with brambles and thorns, and yet, the clearings and waystations can be clearly recognized for what they were at a particular time in our lives.
Choices. Choices that we made or that we did not make, depending upon our state of mind and situation at the time. If we're not careful, it is possible, during those moments of introspection and contemplation, that we may become lost in the woods of our pasts, reliving the regrets over and over again, bringing into the present that which should be left in the past. Or, we can use the past as a stepping stone into the future, making certain that we do not make the same mistakes twice, or three times or more, as the case may be.

I gotta say, I'm very surprized where life has taken me.  I did dwell in the past too long and ended up  jeopardizing myself and my daughters well-being, their home.  I'm so glad to be at a place of introspection and contemplation, not only do I need to move forward, i need to teach the girls too.  Nice read Mark

Teaching the kids this skill cannot be overrated and I know you are an inspiration to yours.

It's always been my opinion the same mistake made in abundance is no longer a mistake but a lifestyle.

Really like this one my friend...

Even as the world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket around us gives us the ability to traverse the dark paths while remaining in the light of self-knowledge, a beacon to others and a lighthouse upon a foggy and treacherous shore.

I take my hat off to you for this ... The full piece but this stood out to me...

Love it...:D

Peace
