A Life Less Ordinary

I heard something today…from a show I have constantly admired…which sounded really good at the time and made perfect sense with my mood…I hope you dont mind me sharing it…Seeing as it is my blog. People will need to choose their paths. This is very important so please listen closely.

There comes a time where a man has to choose between a life of happiness…or a life of meaning. Now, people think that they can have both…I certainly try like most young people do…but there is no such thing. They are but two different worlds. Like you, I shift myself between them, trying to wed them both. But to be truly happy…a man has to live absolutely in the present…no thought of whats gone before and no thought of what lies ahead. Buddha, I guess. A life of meaning…means to be damned to wallow in the past…and to be constantly obsses with the future.

I think lately I have been trying to have both too hard. Where as it is, I already made my choice a long time ago. Regret is such a bittersweet thing. That is why we have to try to minimize it. Being young as I am, I can’t help it. Mistakes were always meant to happen. I would dive in every single time, knowing the risks of making mistakes, just to make them. The strong can only grow through adversity. And without it, i would be a safe young man back home, who would never have known and never have appreciated what a man of strength,…a man of meaning,…and a man of happiness…truly means.
