To Do Or Not To Do.....

[dmlong]

I have come to realize that there is a bit of internal dissonance when it comes to my desires and my ambition. It seems I desire that which I am unwilling to work for. I worry because my life does not look anything like what I hoped it would at this stage, and yet I make no effort to make the changes required to accomplish that ideal

I think part of being mature and organized and responsible and all that jazz... is realizing how little of all of those things you posess. I really do think society's at leats a little to blame, particularly if you are so involved in church and that social group (no offense meant, but the ideal of that life is epitomized with zeal in religious circles

This is something I struggle with all the time. The gap between what I want and what I have to do to get it. It so hard sometimes to see something and know what I have to do to get it, and just not have the motivation or the willpower or the perserverence to stick with something long enough to achieve it.
I don't worry so much about what my life is supposed to look like, since I have always felt that my life was a fluid thing that I could change as I needed to, to fit where I was and where I wanted to go. I have a pretty good imagination, and I can usually picture my life any which way. The difficulty is in figuring out which picture fits, truly fits, not just might work for the moment.
