When we are little kids, we are told we can be anything we
want to be. When we grow up, we find out that’s not really true. We can’t be
ANYTHING. Sometimes finances, health, location or other things get in the way
of the dream.
Life is life. I think that’s what we should tell our kids.
There are good and bad things about life. Hard and easy. Ups and downs. It’s all going to happen to us. It will
all be a part of our story. And every story has curves in it.
I think it’s harder
to adjust to changes in life when they are drastically different from our
dream. It’s harder to be flexible and positive when life takes a left turn
and we wanted it to go right. But it’s easier, if we can look at it all as an
adventure. A ride. A part of our story.
We can fight against
it every turn it takes, or we can make the best of it.
It’s attitude. It’s outlook. It’s emotions and dreams. All
wrapped up together. And we have to decide to make a choice to find joy in our
circumstances even if they aren’t what we’d prefer at the moment. There will be
gifts to unwrap in those unplanned and undreamed moments….if we look for them.
If we can make the best of our pauses, stopovers, detours,
and sidesteps in life – then maybe we somehow still tap into those dreams that
we have for ourselves. Maybe we can ride through those “moments” and come out
the other side into the wide-open space meant for us – instead of getting stuck
in the detours and stopovers forever!
That’s what I’m
choosing to believe.
Make the best of your
today. For you never know what your
tomorrow will bring.
