I've been doing a lot of thinking for a while now. Mainly about
random things. A lot of thoughts have been cycling my brain than
I think I have in a long time. There can't be a better time to
write. Right now, my fingers can’t catch up with my head. There
is so much that I am thinking but I can`t write it fast enough.
I'm thinking about the world, the hungry, the dying, the sick,
the rich, the warring, the wealthy, the celebrity,
the poor. the list of how diverse we are is endless; but yet we
have so many in common.
We all have the ability to set personal goals. We are all born
with this, we set goals to learn to walk, run, talk, make
friends, ride our bike. Some goals were set for us even before
we know it; like going to school,
and I think that's where our predicaments begins, at some point
we'll develop the unwillingness to go to school, for some people
it will be mild, for some; very strong.
That begins a new phase of predicament because right on that comes giving
up, procrastinating and feeling inferior. Because we are in a
group of people that has the same goals (at least at time time)
with us.
These plagues us for the rest of our lives because not again
will we ever learn to walk at our own pace and not care if the
neighbours kid that was born the same day is already running.
Ironically, we set goals by ourselves but then compare our results
to our best friend's. I have my own goals, but a few years back,
I
thought I had it all figured out. I mean by now, I should have
achieved those goals. Like every dream, their are always
obstacles. I know mine. I know the things I need to improve on,
the things I need to do.
For example; In the last 2 months, I've watched some of the
goals I set for myself remain idle, partly because I keep
telling myself its going to get done, I have the time to do it,
I got this. But maybe its not too bad. Maybe now that I realized
what I am doing I can get to completing those things. Or better
still, set new smaller goals that will lead to the bigger things
that I am striving for, or better still break down the big
ones into little objectives
"Ironically, we set goals by ourselves but then compare our results to our best friend s"
Some of my friends tell me that I have my goals set to high but
its funny because I know that if your mind can't conceive an
idea, you can achieve it. Have I considered changing those
dreams? absolutely not.
Because I have watched myself deal with situations that I never thought I could handle, not only did I handle them, I handled them great and wouldn't have changed the way I handled them. I controlled, not changed the situation. Its an exercise that have paid off because I can control my emotions more than I ever have.
Sometimes God gives us the opportunity to be able to control what happens and how we react to it which does not mean the situation has changed. Its just the feeling of being in control. Its a phenomena.
