I am on a quest. These last few days a lot has been going through my head. I have been focusing on what it is that I really want. I have been concentrating on realizing the things I lost over the last few years. I am in college - I thought I would be expanding my mind but instead I feel like I am imploding on myself. I have lost the passion for the things that used to drive me. I have lost motivation, balance and action in my life. Many of the things that I have cherished in the past have become foreign to me. I love school and the people around me. I have been maturing and growing in some ways - I have been learning a lot in classrom. Facts data and methods. and in life too. I have been turning into an adult. And sadly a lot of the time in out lives that means loosing imagination, creativity, passion and verve for life. But I feel I have abandoned the things near and dear to my heart. These last few days have been a wonderful time of reflection and refocusing of what is important to me and what I need to be doing. I have been focusing on getting back to the basics. I wish to restore the passion verve and drive in my life. I have regained the focus I had once before. I know what I must do, what is commanded of me, I have been motivating myself and discussing it with people around me. This is a critical time in my life. I must press forward onto the right path and make all the right turns and stops along the way. This is an exciting time in my life. Even though it is important and hard I am lighthearted about it. As my motivation I must remember to do what I my will tells me. To not be such a lazy ass. And to Force my self to try new challenges and get out of my comfort zone. I will experience life as there is no replay, this is not a rehearsal. I will live my days so as to regret nothing. I will keep in mind the quote of Voltaire from Candide "We must cultivate our garden." Happiness is easily obtained. But do not strive for it, do not look for it; simply live your life and do what is commanded of you. Remember to be considerate. Start the day right. smile and be happy. move on. be humble. help others. Scout Law - ULTIMATELY YOU KNOW THE ANSWER!! don’t fool yourself.
