The Trick Is To Enjoy It

The trick is to enjoy it. Don't be afraid of making decisions. Enjoy seeing the outcome. Realize that these decisions give you the ultimate power to shape your life. Have fun with them and take pleasure in the human interactions that they often afford. This is what life is about; these interactions and experiences! I used to believe, in the back of my mind, that I would save enough money, or obtain a high enough position that I would not have to go through all the trouble of working at a job, or making "important" decisions......that I would somehow be able to coast my way through the rest of my life and everything would be gravy. I would live "happily ever after". Well after experiencing more life, and hopefully gaining more wisdom, I have decided that this would take away from the majority of the decisions, situations, and challenges THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING. Overcoming obstacles, navigating through the dynamics of relationships, looking inward and becoming a better person, watching your children grow, mastering your mind, solving a good problem, these are the things that contribute to an interesting life. Without obstacles and challenges life would be flat, unremarkable, unstimulating, bland, a slow march to the end, something not worthy of our capabilities.
