Happy 29th to me tomorrow (August 3rd, 1980). Yeaahhhh.....
I'm at a point in life where I am confused, like many of us. Are we where we want to be? Did we do the things we swore we'd do and have completed by now? Are we complete? Self-fulfilled?
I think we all ask these questions of ourselves from time to time. It's natural. It's our own built in self-check mechanism. Self-pity and disappointment can be great motivators of action.
In the same token, if we were complete in our quests then what would we do? Part of life is taking time to get these things done. Life's no video game with cheat codes that hurry us on our way to the next level... we have to live and experience life for ourselves.
Enjoy the appetizers of life and not just the main courses. It goes a long way into a mans (or womans) character to use our experiences to forge relationships, slow down the often fast pace of life, and create new visions of what life can really be. Just when we think we know it all we learn something new that opens our eyes to just how little we really know and understand.
Enjoy your birthday, it's a milestone. Enjoy that the good Lord, some higher power, aliens, or karma has allowed you to even have another birthday (whichever you believe in, if anything at all). Enjoy that you're alive and experience all it has to offer.
Now, get off your computer and go enjoy something!
Today's reference...watch the movie "Yes Man" starring Jim Carrey. It's freaking hilarious and at the same time there's an underling inspiration.
