Good Things Come to Those Who Wait?
Been doing a lot of thinking lately, about life, and where my life is taking me, and I have come to realize something: Good things don't come to those who wait. Patience may be a virtue, but it can also be a vice. To wait for somethings, while may be easy, isn't good. One needs to take the bull by the horns and take action instead of waiting patiently for something to happen.
I have been going through much of my college career waiting for something to grab me, waiting to stumble into what it is that I want to do for the rest of my life. And I have realized that doing so will never solve the problem of what to do with me life. Instead, I must think for myself, decide, and take action on where I want my life to go. If it turns out to be the wrong path, then I can always switch paths, and try something else. But I cannot just sit and wait for whatever is happening to fall together into what it is I want to do with my life.
The same goes through with most aspects of my life, lately, I have discovered. I usually kind of like to think of myself as a man of action who has strong stances, and stands by them, and follows through with them. But I dont' know if that is really the case. I look at what I have been doing lately, in school, with friends, with interests, with family, etc., and I have realized that I am waiting. Waiting for what, I don't really know, but I have been waiting. And this isn't what I should be doing. If I want something, I should act, and if isn't possible, then I should change paths. To do otherwise means that I will just get left behind in the flow of life, stagnate, and not really grow up. Well, the time is coming where that won't really be an option to me, whether I want it to be or not, so I guess I had better start now with where I want my life to go, and take action.
I don't where I am going yet, and where life will take me, but sitting back and waiting for life to take me somewhere I want to be isn't going to work, so I guess I have to go out there, experience life for myself, and see where it takes me. Goodnight all.
