Journey to success Pt. 2
This is certainly a post that can give no definitive direction. I think i really wrote it to raise more questions than it answers. But I must admit a certain leaning of opinion on the matter.
As much as I like the concept of sitting at the lake with someone, gazing off into the sunset, I could never be this way. I love to enjoy those moments, but I find that they are only sweet when contrasted against the spice of the pursuit. When youre still chasing. When there is a chance that you will lose it all.
I believe the problem with many failed pursuits and shattered dreams is more about the tactics than the destination. You can have two individuals with the same starting point and finish line and yet watch one live a life of joy and excitement, while the other wallows in their constant frustration. I’m not saying the one succeeded and the other did not, but that one properly pursued their passion while the other poisoned their life with it. This is the difference between success no matter what and failure is not an option. The first perspective knows that their success comes from their willingness to try, while the latter is enslaved by the fear of the end result. Both are in pursuit, but only one can truly be happy at the same time.
The Paradox of our journey to success..
I havent written a thought driven post in some time, so with some free time on my hands and alot of things running through my mind.. Why not today..
One thing that drives us to passionately pursue our desired goals is the vision of those who have succeeded before us. We see individuals who have deciphered the secret to success. They usually walk around in the lime ight and chanting about how terrible success is but if given the opportunity, they always say that they would never change a thing. They’re asked to tell their tale; the road that led them to the promised land and we’re almost always met with some rehearsed response about following your dreams and never giving up, “Because I didn’t, and look where I am now!” they would say.
But this paradox that I am talking about concerns the possibility of a life wasted, chasing after a dream. Out of those few at the top of the mountain, how many others have died on the way up, never even tasting the slightest bit of sweet success? And yet if we don’t seek our goals and dreams, we are most likely going to sit at the bottom of the mountain anyway.
Some would suggest that it is better to enjoy the basics of life and stop pining for more. I love this idea, but have never been able to feel settled with it. I’m a driven person, but I think it’s just human nature to dream big and journey ahead. This is much of what keeps us going as a species. Without that constant carrot dangling in our midst, we would surely have less passion to spice up our lives, and have a little more fun. It’s all a great paradox!

No.. I have not changed, Ive grown up..
I was with an old friend today and she said "O my god, Youve changed so much".. I then went on to explain to her that I have not changed at all, im still the same guy i was the last time you saw me. When i think of someone that has changed, then I think of someone who was acting to begin with, which makes them phony.. Im not phony. Ive grown up... i dont hold grudges, there are no hard feelings but im not dumb either .... A friend and I were talking last week after a good game of basketball. And he said something that made soo much sense to me in reference to a guy from my high school. He said "Im past the fact that he stole my money, Im past all the other snake stuff he has done to me and to the people around me. But i know that im bound to make ALOT of money in my lifetime, and because of that, I have to eliminate the snakes out of my life now, before its too late. If i let him hang around me too much, he may infect my circle of real friends, and then Im just all fucked up!"... I laughed while he was talking but when he was done, I sat back, and i was really thinking... He's right. So i mean, ill never treat someone wrong or anything like that but If i just become a little stand offish towards you, its not because im upset with you about something youve done, or anything like that.. Most likely the reason for this is that,You are probably one of the snakes in my life, and i need to do an inventory of my friends. And... you just unfortunately didnt make the cut.
I think that everyone needs to sit back and do a real inventory of your friends.. dont let one bad apple spoil the rest.

My mother and sister has seen you quite a few times over the past several months. I have not had the pleasure. And honestly, that doesnt bother me at all. That ship has sailed.. Despite all of this, i have not forgotten about you, or your birthday obviously.. And i was going to send you a gift or something but a few things stopped me from doing so.. I dont know if you still live on 79th and I couldnt decide on what to get you.. Soo.. this post will have to do... Happy Birthday!
