I might fail in the process, but I'll eventually succeed. I will strive for bigger and better things. So, when I fail, I have to remember - I was built to survive my mistakes.Īnd, once the dust clears, I know I probably won't wait for the scars to heal before I get up and go. But I also can lay claim to a lot of amazing things, too. Would my life be the way it is if I lived my life any other way? Somehow I doubt it. I hate to use the word "expect," but if I'm being honest with myself, I have to admit that I expect a lot from myself. I push myself a lot, even at times when I would rather rest. I could live my life standing in the same place, but I know I wouldn't be content.
One thing about myself I've come to accept is that I take risks. Sometimes, those decisions are completely off the mark, and when the realization surfaces, I'm miles off course. There isn't much I can do but make a choice for moving forward and then just go in that direction until it's time to change course again. The road forks, and I have to turn left or turn right. As analytical as I can be, I know there are instances when I just don't have enough time to give something the amount of thought I would otherwise dedicate. There are times when I am faced with a decision to make, and I know deep down in my heart I haven't given the puzzle enough thought. And even if the paper plane crashes, it's kind of fun to take flight.Ī long time ago, a friend described himself as having "a determined chin." I've always been fond of that phrase, and when I'm struggling with something or trying to figure out whether or not to take a big chance, that phrase often pops into my head. Life's a little more exciting when I'm not trying to figure everything out. I'll always at my core be an analytical person, but I've come to realize that being analytical can't solve everything. I'm letting my heart speak to me and tell me what it wants, and rather than ask a million questions to have the puzzle solved, I'm letting life remain somewhat a mystery and just enjoying each day as I take it, rather than pulling out the telescope and eyeing up the finish line. Recently, I've been surprising myself with just how easy it's been to just let go of my brain and just go with my instincts. I tend to spend a lot of my time with all sorts of new puzzles and challenges that I barely take enough pause to marvel at those puzzles and challenges I've been able to solve. However, being so analytical can sometimes take the fun out of life. I'm good with keeping things highly organized and ordered, my analytical nature often exposes potential weaknesses others might not have uncovered, and I'm good at asking questions. A methodical process lends itself to many things. I've usually been the careful type, the sort of person to think, assess, and then act. Sometimes you just need to make the leap.
