There is a saying that goes, “Still waters run deep.” And regardless of how vocal someone may be on the exterior, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot more brewing underneath the surface of their soul. Oftentimes, there is. And more often than not, there is far more to story than the pages you might be stuck on in the chapter of their life…or maybe even in yours.
I suppose that I should preface this blog by saying that I
don’t know it all, nor do I have all the answers…and I got to wondering this
afternoon if anyone is even supposed to. I don’t think they are. I don’t think
that’s the objective l in life. For me, in my mind, I imagine that life is
about finding the answers to the questions most pertinent to you…whatever those
questions might be. To take it to an even deeper level of thought, maybe those
questions are supposed to be in a constant state of flux, of change. And maybe
that’s where the challenge lies. Because change is uncomfortable, but also, necessary for
growth.
I have come to realize over the past few months…well, years
really, that it’s imperative to your personal growth and development to
surround yourself with positive, enthusiastic people. More than this, it’s
crucial to become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know, to shake
off the negativity and nonsense that life might dish you, and turn everything
you can into the most positive situation possible. And, if the people currently in your life can’t
rise to that level, it’s time to let them go; time to let them find their own
way.
Naturally, one has to admit that no one is perfect, and there isn’t a person among us who can be positive and enthusiastic all the time. However, we are all works in progress, and it’s the mistakes and faux pas we make that can either break us or turn us into the person we aspire to be.
For me, that means I aspire to be more, to be better, to be whole.
What do YOU aspire to be?
I’d love to hear your comments and your answers to this
question.
The song of the day? Check it out…heck, it might even make
you think. And, if my silly little thoughts can inspire just ONE person, then I’ve
done something good, which (of courrse) is something I aspire to do on my quest for "more".
