Originally I was “giving up” on this goal, stating that I wasn’t so much giving it up as moving past it. As I wrote my entry, however, I found that I’ve actually achieved the goal, just not as I had originally intended it. So here’s my disquisition…
I’ve realized that life is what it is. There’s no going back; there’s no redoes. I can’t speak for the rest of the world, but I only plan on living one life. Instead of constantly regretting my decisions or wishing I had taken a different path, I will take joy in living the life I am living right now. There is no reason to want more or less than what I presently have. To wish that is pointless, because it’s something over which I have no control. The only thing I have control over is where I go from here. The past will always be the past; the present will always be a product of the past; and the future will always be a mystery. That’s what should keep us going. Always pushing forward; always leaving everything behind.
