Wisdom

Wisdom is like the sun, sometimes it sneaks up on you at 5a.m.  on a Monday morning, only to make you realize that life is indeed grand, instead of thinking the opposite, that shit!!! "I have to get up for work in a few hours and do it all over again."

Wisdom has taught me how to live my life for myself, and that by doing so, living for others comes naturally.

Wisdom has taught me that the finer things in life are the things that you know you don't ever want to live without, but that you know you can.  The best way to is to let it all come at its own pace, and never forced.

Wisdom has opened my eyes to a world that I know consists of the things that only I love, but that the world is different through each person's eyes.  That is the beauty of life any way.

I haven't always lived respectfully or even logically.  Moments when I really thought I was going crazy, turned out to be moments of wisdom, clarity, that made me realize that our biggest enemies are those we create for ourselves, and never those that truly exist.  Tonight I feel an inner peace, a sense of tranquility that makes my soul alive.  I know that life can always be hard, but it's taken me a long time to find out, that life is only ever as hard as we make it.

I'm hoping to get my start in my career off with a bang.  I'm going to be doing a lot of freelancing for a journalism site, where I will have my own column and page.  I have lots of goals set for me this summer, all of which include a garden, restoring old chairs, designing my front patio, reading more, exercising (always a goal), patience and more gratitude.  I want to truly live and not worry about what my future may hold for me someday.  In reality we can never make or choose our future.  Every second of life is a different change from the last, nothing is predictable.  I don't want to look back either, because then I'd be allowing fear of change to run my life.

Wisdom is something that blindsides at 2 a.m., or right smack in the middle of traffic.  Wisdom is the key that holds our sanctity together, our well-being.  I know that my life will be different when I wake up in the morning, but now I embrace it, and no longer fear it.  Present living is always the only true way to happiness and gratitude.
