Yeah, I know the saying is 1 step forward, 3 steps back, but it's really the opposite right now. It seems like in some aspects of life, I'm moving full speed ahead, but in other ways I'm stagnant. It's the worst feeling. It's almost like being in quicksand, seeing the hand that could pull you out, but you like the sensation of sinking so much that you don't reach for that hand.
Okay, that was a bad metaphor.
My point is, sometimes my focus is off. I have SO MUCH going on in my mind at any given moment and great ideas of what I want to do, but the other things I'm involved in can cloud the way of my true purpose in college and in life. It's hard to make the decision to let some things go, but it's necessary. My professor, Dr. White broke it down for me. She said that it's hard for an over-achiever to not be involved. Our gut instinct is to say yes to every opprotunity to be involved and help. But that leaves what time for myself? Absolutely zero.
We have to start evaluating what's going to help us in this journey called life in the long run. Not just the momentary excitement or what satisfies someone else's desires.
Decisions to make and actions to take,
