Someone said to me recently "You need to give up trying too hard and just do what makes you happy." On the surface, that seems quite innocuous, but when you think about it, why should it make YOU happy? What if what once made you happy, no longer makes you happy? Is your life a waste? What if you become one of those people who are HAPPY in their mediocrity?
Does this terrify anyone else? Of becoming a person who is so satisfied in being middle of the road, vaguely bland and happy to troll along in their sweet satisfied life of complacency? But, there is also the terror of pushing yourself too far, too hard and looking back on your life with a desire to have slowed down. CAN you push yourself to far?
When you work your whole life to get ahead, pause for one minute and lose your head start. THAT BRINGS YOU BACK TO THE REST OF THE MEDICORE PACK.
You know, I think I had best keep my thoughts to myself, because this really isn't making sense to anyone but me.
