Life's a bit of a rollercoaster...lots of up and downs. What makes one appreciate more is hitting rock bottom, where the up and downs now pale in comparison.
As much as sometimes these days are up and downs in terms of social, relations, family and work...I must say, that I am happy, even though I feel I have further to go in my goals, dreams, hopes and wishes. I fear ever going back to that place of hopelessness and unhappiness, which I was locked in 2 years ago...however, there is a knowledge that won't happen for two reasons...
1. I was able to break out of that, and would not let myself remain there
2. My self-knowledge and self-awareness is heightened exponentially since those days, that I can catch myself easily.
And though sometimes I can get frustrated on not achieving every goal, I know that every day I am always moving forward, even if one day it is slow as molasses, and the next, like a rocket. And, I think, moving forward, moving to where I want to go...in that motion is what life is all about. Not always about our goal, but our journey to get there. The quicker we accept this, the better off we'll be.
In my humble opinion, anyway.
Are you happy? And if you aren't, what plans or things will you do to make sure that you are moving forward.
