no one said that life would be easy. no one said that getting what you deserved would be a walk in the park. if i had a penny for every time i heard someone say, "life sucks" i would be a bajillionaire. ya.. BAJILLionaire.
we live in a very tough world and sometimes we forget that despite all the bad, IT COULD BE WORSE. for instance, im currently bitching and complaining about how my current occupation is nothing short of an embarrassment considering i have a degree. i complain about how its taking them 4839843 years to promote me to a position that we've discussed months and months ago. why is it taking ten years past forever? idk either. but im still going to work towards it. its discouraging and sometimes i do want to give up but i wont. as i said before, no one said life was easy. besides, it could be worse: i could have no job. i could be a worker who isnt even being considered for any type of position or promotion. ergo.. THERE IS A BRIGHT SIDE TO EVERYTHING.
"damned if you do damned if you dont." a friend mentioned that to me earlier today and i must say that it got me thinking. its hard to participate in something when knowing the outcome will always "damn" you. whats his solution? just dont do anything. and i guess after all the negative reinforcement that hes received while trying to do right would bring forth that type of attitude BUUUUT!! sometimes i wonder.. wouldnt you rather be the person that kept on giving because its the right thing to do than be the person who quit because life got too hard?!?!
so whats the moral of the story? coach whitey from oth said it best, "So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, cause most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."
on that note, congrats robert, to your new baby girl!!! cant wait to meet her. i hear shes beautiful =)
