Do we really stand alone?

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

I think it is so important to be able to stop and look at where you've been. Whether it is looking back at last night, last week or last year, all of those moments in time hold a key to where we stand at this moment.

Sometimes we wonder how quickly something can change, but if we look back, there are usually signs along the way, that maybe we overlooked. Things don't usually happen as fast as we think. We are just slow to notice the small changes leading up to the big wave that knocks us off our feet.

I try so hard to let my emotions be my guide. To go with my instinct. I am usually never disappointed. Disappointment only happens when we look back at what we didn't do when we felt deep down that it was right all along.

What are our emotions anyway? Are they just that little voice inside? And if so, who is that? Such mystery surrounding our alter ego, that sixth sense. I believe that once we are on the other side of this world, this loud, busy, stressful, confusing, painfully happy place, it will all be so simple. Right now we are so lost inside the static that we can't see how simple it all is. Someone can though. Someone is trying to lead us. Maybe not always to the right choice, but the choice that makes sense several more chapters into our life. It isn't for us to look to the past and wish we could change a choice made, but to accept it today and trust that it will make sense at some point down the road. ~Susan
