Life: look ahead and see all the paths or look back and see the one you've taken.

July 31 2006
People seem to have different views on how they look at life, progress, the future, the past, and etc. Some people look to the past for all their problems or stick to past and hope the future doesn't get worse. Some look to the future and either see a grim one or a light at the end of the tunnel helping them escape their past. Some want to walk backwards on the path of time and return to their content past. Some want to move ahead so they don't have to deal with the present.

No matter where you go in your mind, or what you do, you have to learn from the path you've walked on (rocks, stumbling blocks and all) and use it to form the path your about to make. Focus on only one aspect of time leads to worry or false-hope or security, but focus on all three show you what you need to see. The past shows what you need to change, you need to change it in the present, and hope your future shows the positive effect hoped for. If not, repeat the cycle. Most people repeat it till they die, some don't. Just depends on what you want out of life. You want to feel good about your life, be successful, or whatever. You just need two main things that I think will make a path for your future worth walking*:

1: Motivation - With motivation, you have the energy and determination to walk the path, your just missing something....but if you are motivated sometimes number two will show its self on the path...not always, you do have to answer to the consequences of your choices, good and bad. So when using just motivation....be careful.

2: A reason - If you have a reason to take a specific path, your halfway
to the right path. Now whether its a legitimate reason is up to you,
you still have to answer to consequences.

And mix the two and all the sudden the path, though you may not want to walk it at the time, may be worthwhile in the end. Since everything has two sides: a good and a bad, and every choice has at least two options, it may become difficult to choose your path. But weigh it with research and just with emotion and see which comes out on top.

*Note: Those aren't the only two things involved...the rest are path specific. Other emotions/skills/resources will be needed. But initially those are two powerful tools when combined.

Well theres my blabbing for the day...thank you for your time!
