What Do You Want?

What will your life be like in 3 years? Or even just in the next year? Are you worried about the big bad world or just yourself? How do we get what we want? Tired of the, “ make goals” mantra? Winging it isn’t impossible, but maybe not long term. I always have plans that just float around in my head, sometimes I do them and sometimes I don’t. You can’t be too rigid when moving forward. A to B never seems to be a straight path. There will always be wrenches thrown in and obstructions in everything.

My dad used to say, “ speak things into existence, don’t say the negative out loud.” I do try this, but when I say a plan out loud it always goes sideways. That negative thinking doesn’t help either. Being positive is work! When you are in a negative spiral, positivity is exhausting. It isn’t impossible. My dad was 43ish when he made huge changes in his life. A total about face, I respect that. He found a balance in his opinions and was accepting to everyone. He gravitated to those that struggled and I love that.

Life waits for no one, that I know. It passes everyday whatever you do with it, is on you. Dad only got another almost twenty years after his new path. Don’t always be just an observer, get in there and do something. Don’t waste it!
