The lesson to myself --
Over the past few months my love and admiration for the people around me and the world around me was being taken for granted. I need to remind myself on a daily basis to stop and think about those whose worlds cross mine and to love them for who they are.
Also, I see that I haven't stopped to really smell the roses, if you will. It is important for ME that I don't get caught up in what society predetermines to be our destiny: Work, Roof, Family, Death or some formula like that.
I am a man and yes it is very important to succeed in life so that I can provide for a family. However, I don't have to do that right now. I'm 30 years old and I can stop my day-to-day lifestyle for a wife, kids, and the other obligations that comes with that. I've reached that goal and I'm bored. I am bored because I haven't stopped to smell the ocean air around me to realize that I should be proud of what I accomplished: Financial Security, Mental Stability, and finally learning to open my heart for others and not just myself.
I came to California telling myself that I will be selfish and treat myself right in order to find my own innerhappiness and goodness. I've accomplished this...now what? What's next for me? I don't know.
