So for most of my life I feel I've been running, running away from things. That's been okay for awhile, but now approaching 24 and feeling the inner fire I have to get out into the world more than ever I realize I can not get going when the going gets tough instead I have to know when to go and when to push through. I have learned that there are some things in this life that will not change, circumstances that are meant to be and that one would be wasting more energy on fighting than accepting. Ive also realized that there are some circumstances that should not be accepted and some that can be fought through and simply walked away from and that's okay.
We all have circumstances in our life that we do not like, ones we hate and most likely have been spending a great deal of time fighting most of our lives...what if we simply accepted them and moved on to another part of our lives that would make us fulfilled?
I'm sure we have all heard the term "you can't have it all" I firmly believe this is true. There are moments in this life where we can chose to sacrifice a little bit of one thing for another. We have to make sure we are doing it for the right reasons. Are we making a sacrifice now for an investment in the future? Are we sacrificing our happiness for the happiness of someone we love....and if so are they deserving? I firmly believe that it's our own choices, everyone one of us makes those decisions everyday - sacrifice the 5 minutes you could be on time to work to enjoy a cup of coffee - and that is fine but one has to be sure that what they are sacrificing is truly what they want.
Oddly, right now I'm watching "The Devil Wears Prada" -excellent movie... two of the main characters choose to sacrifice their family life for their career, for both it takes a horrible toll on them but one chooses to live with her choice and continue to sacrifice while the other chooses to turn around and sacrifice her career for her family life. There can always be a balance but the point I'm trying to make is that we make our own choices and we chose what we sacrifice and in turn must live with them. We can't always run and we can't always fight. Our life must become a compromise between fight, flight, and acceptance. What we chose, what we do, what we let go, and what we pursue are all our own choices.
