What is it we're chasing out there, the american dream, a higher ideal? What are you working for? or towards?
Have you ever looked up from your life and just wondered... how did i get to this place?
What wild set of chased dreams, narrow visions and pit falls have put you to where you are now?
and how are you going to get back to where you want to be, you would even accept going back to where you were, but your (sometimes literally) buried under your current .. situation.
I have thought this through carefully, and i've decided that i certainly missed my mark, i am not anywhere even remotely close to where i was shooting at a year ago, or 10 years ago, so what is the path i want to be on then? i think the part that is missed most often when one seeks the road out, is that there is first the need to take the road back.
In an apple orchard, arms outreached, you had a goal in mind, you found a ladder, and climbed it, when you had all you wanted you fell off the ladder... Do you get up and go get an orange? typically, or logically, one would say "simply climb the ladder again and get what you wanted" so what is it in life that changes the parameters of what we want so fast and so drastically that we loose site of the things that we were after in the first place.
So often in life we hear, see and even occasionally understand the most profound truths, about others, about life in general or society, but so few are able to apply that to a working model in their lives. Or in some way discern what it is about that truth that can apply to them and their lives.
Well if you have asked this question , so have I , and many others like us, it is our responsibility to take matters into our own hands, to make the changes and take steps to not only move on , but to move ahead, even if it means you have to look back ....
"Sometimes the way forward, is the way ... back" Frank oz's hand told me that once. I just dont think i took it to heart until now.
