#70 “Don’t screw up the best thing in your life just because you’re a little unsure about who you are.” Arnie - The Family Man 2000
If we already know what we have; why do we seek to find what we don’t have? If life had to revert, and you had to look through your life in the eyes of a different scene, different sequence and different time and place; would you want to experience reflection? Are we claiming that human beings are blinded by the obvious? Are we understanding that we’ve stopped looking into people’s eyes to see our own reflection; yet, we have looked through people’s eyes to see their struggles?
If we continue to walk blindly into our competitive nature within our souls; are we stepping eyes wide open into failure?
Sometimes all it takes is a rude awakening or a wake up call to stop going down a bad path. Sometimes all it takes is a consequence to evoke a change in environment. Yet, sometimes we don’t really know what happened, and back peddling is the only answer. I would rather step forward and jump over hurdles; then walk backwards and relive the pain of the falls since I can’t see where I am going.
We throw rocks in a pond to see the ripples; we throw pennies in a fountain to make wishes.
As we begin to realize that the rocks in our lives keeps us strong, and the pennies in our pockets keep up striving; we realize that the water symbolizes opportunity, and throwing something into it, symbolizes hope. Can we stop hoping for things to work out and remain positive that they will? Can we know what it takes to make hope positive? Do we have to walk around confident for others to see their own reflection?
I look into people’s eyes to see their truth. I look past people who don’t tell me the truth.
We might be unsure about where we are in our lives; we might be unsure about the people we have become. I do know though, I am not unsure about my rocks and pennies. I am not unsure about the water, or throwing wishes or skipping rocks. I know who I want to be in the pond of life and in the pocket of pennies; I want to be the man that knows when its time to call it a day and go home. I am the man that says family is most important; because it is.
