Are you in complete charge of your life right now?
BlogFEST day 4
Stuart asks the question, "Are you in complete charge of your life right now?" He even followed the question with a brilliant post...
but I think I am going a different direction. I guess we will see where it all ends up when I done typing, eh?
Okay, first of all - it seems just when I think I have it all under control, the world shifts. I think it does this to shake me up a little. There is no good to come from being complacent.
'Getting too big for your britches are you?' 'Think you have it all under control?'
Well, I will show you how much you actually control ....uh ha, that's right -
NOTHING
I don't mean that in a fatalistic, why bother sort of way - just that, the world is so big - and I am so small.
- not only are we only a speck in the vastness of the universe....

...there are so many fascinating things around us
and at the risk of sounding annoyingly cliche .... you really never know what is around the next corner. All you can do is keep moving - doing your best - enjoying where you are right now - and if you can do that with a friend at your side, all the better.

Finally - this quote may very well contradict everything I just said - but the world -and my own life - is big enough to hold all sorts of glorious contradictions. - the best one ever is that we are in charge of anything, really.
That last part is so absolutely correct! When life has beaten you in any respect, the only possible response as the pain is healing is to get right back in there and smile like you mean it, until you do.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are in charge and responsible. I have no doubt. I cannot control situations, but I can control what I do in them.
That quote couldn't get any more correct, I'll say that. It's like when you get a bruise or injury, it heals over time and eventually that part of your body becomes stronger than it used to be. It works the same way with human emotions and feelings.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post!
