Stuck... or Refusing to Move Forward... or Maybe I Just Like It Here

So... sometimes our callings, our destinies, our fates, our hopes, dreams, longings, heart's desires, get a little improperly categorized on the list of importants. I tried to have an interview with a guy about how he got into management and to see how I could begin to pursue that for my own life. What happened, instead, was that he was busy and then I was busy and I never returned a phone call and so a month has gone by without me even thinking about my vision.

It came to mind while thinking about finding myself a hobby. You see, even in the midst of living around roughly forty to fifty people you will always be bored without there being some kind of stimulus. When you are bored the only thing to do is think and I thought about how I need to occupy my time or else I will again suffer the curse of public school.

I first thought, "I'm just stuck." Well, if your stuck you cannot move at all, and you never even chose to be stuck. If you are stuck you put there by some outside force which then makes you wonder about your own freewill. When asked how he felt about fate Neo (from "The Matrix") responded, "I don't like the idea that I'm no in control of my own life." If your stuck then you were not strong enough to take care of yourself and if you cannot take care of yourself then you have to be under somebody elses power and control. That sucks so rethink about your circumstances.

...Or maybe I just like it here. Why would you like not having anything happen with your life. If you do I think its fear. Fear is an immobilizer. If something or someone can get you to afraid to do something that needs to be done for something else to happen then again your being controlled and you cannot take care of yourself. Fear is what keeps you stuck... sometimes. Sometimes its circumstances, however, you can avoid those too.

I think I was refusing to move forward. Maybe our accidents are our choices and maybe our position in life was given to use by ourselves and maybe we are our own fears, because we really suck at living. But how do we do "good" at living? Well, Jesus was given the best seat in heaven and He showed us how to live like Him... so maybe that's a good clue.

Anyway, second chances are around every corner. Maybe your second chance is another path. If the one path led you off a cliff why try that one again. Try something different, something new, something inspiring and innovative and creative.

I'll meet you there,
