Just Another Day
I'm going to endeavor to keep this post relatively short as not a lot of awesome things happened this week, in fact it was kind of a rough week. Currently I'm attending college full time as well as working about 30 hours a week. This week just about killed me due to a large multitude of exams and projects being due. It's really during times like these that I wonder "why am I doing this to myself"? It seems like it would all be so easy to give up sometimes and just get out, to go live a life of irresponsibility in my parents house for the rest of forever. But then I always remember my motivation and I think that is the key part. One of my favorite quotes of all time is "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions", which really has nothing to do with this blog post but the other more pertinent quote that I also love says "Where there is no vision the people perish". To me this really means nothing more than that as we keep our motives in view, as we are able to maintain the vision that got us started in the first place that come what may we will be able to continue on in the face of great adversity.

I totally agree with you on this. I also work, have school, and am always trying to keep up on my relationships (plus my calling which needs more time then I sometimes feel I can give). It's like being stretched too far, or like said in the Lord of the Rings by Bilbo, it is like butter being spread over too much bread. However, something that I have learned is that those who learn to stretch themselves and to be more efficient with their time are the ones who end up being successful because they have learned to do hard things.
ReplyDeleteTo go along with your quote, I sometimes see the difference in life's choices as two songs, "Highway to Hell" and "Stairway to Heaven". Both classic rock sons, but the titles are very interesting to me. Making it to hell is like a highway, it's fast and easy. Meanwhile, going to heaven is like a staircase, you have to take every single step and sometimes you may want to turn around, but the end is much more rewarding. So keep taking those strides up towards betterment, and you will find success. Great article!
