When was the last time you really thought or even truly considered... i want to be when I grow up... did you see you being just where you are on this day in your age... doing this job that you do as this day comes to an end... is it all that you had ever dreamed... exciting as you ever imagined... are you reaching the heights your parents had eyed as your success... has your wildest dreams become a reality... is your bank balance at the dollar sign that will out last your old age... can you say without a shadow of a doubt... you are happy... your life is true joy... work is a dream... those 40 hours of your week are those not filled with dread... but truly fulfilling... is it what you want to be when you grow up... I think I'd like to be... well I know where I see myself... I think I know what I am good at... I know what brings me joy... yet... education is only that of a life of experience created by first hand knowledge... and if not that... I'd be happy just to paint...
It is hard waiting for the other shoe to drop... this can apply to so many areas of life... financial security... job security... health... children... family... all of these things are difficult enough in their own way... what is most difficult is waiting for another to twist the knife... we as human are such flawed creatures to begin with... with the three fingers that point back as we call out the failure of others... it is enough just to keep the eyes in the back of the head open wide to protect us from the inevitable... often we know that which is about to happen... yet there are times when we never see it coming... it is not always about doing what is right... it is more often about doing what is necessary that gets us into trouble... and there in lies the rub... we do what we feel to be right to make the wheel turn and others just can't bare the thought of not having control... whether gained or earned... and as the aftermath of what is left behind... the question remains......
