Life is full of risks. I must admit I've never been one to 'pine' over things I do not have. I might for a while 'wish' that things were different but inevitably I figure it out and move on. I think it's more because I can't stay present where I do not see the value. It seems as though time passes us by so quickly and in a blink of an eye another year is gone. There are many things I have yet to accomplish and I aspire to get to them all in my life time if at all possible. To wish for what is not, is a waste of time in my mind. I can't always say that I move quickly to that end resolve because that wouldn't be true, but I try to. Sometimes I just need time to work out the details and to be ready.
Whether that means accepting and finding happiness right where I am, or taking a chance and reaching towards some thing different, either way, I know it's important to choose. I have learned there is no joy in uncertainty, it's far better to take a chance. A good friend of mine said to me in a recent email exchange that 'life is a real joy when you just kick back and let it happen'. I couldn't help but think about that and what it means to have that kind of joy both personally and professionally. In the end sometimes what we need is just to be willing to reach out and take a chance and therein we find the joy. Until next time...
