Too often I catch myself being more concerned
about what others are doing around me than just doing life! I know that it is
so easy to get caught up in the paralysis of analysis in my life journey. This
is when I spend or waste too much time being jealous of what others are doing
around me instead of just diving into life and doing what I love. The urban
myth that the grass is greener on the other side of the neighborhood you have
to figure out sooner than later. Otherwise you will spend the rest of your life
trying to catch your neighbor or close friend in their pursuits and miss out on
your own life journey.
What causes any of us to be so insecure about our passions in life
that we have to look at what others are doing before we can start living? Don’t
get me wrong it is perfectly fine to do some observing but this must not stop
you from discovering your passion in life. The opportunity is to learn
hopefully when you are young that life is an amazing gift that brings an unique
path for each of us to follow. The difficulty is that real leaders aren’t
fearful of becoming trailblazers.
The most exciting part of your life journey is seeing it unfolds
before your eyes where you are able to love your life and not be jealous of those
around you. Yet after running a few
marathons over the years it is so easy to always be looking back to see how
close the competition happens to be or what’s worse is to attempt to catch up
to a runner that is too far ahead. The focus of my running isn’t to beat anyone
but to push myself to continue to enjoy the course and finish. One of the
marathon sages, his nick name is the Penguin, would tell us that everyone lies
about their times so just enjoy the race and actually take longer but enjoy it.
I want to enjoy my life and not waste any more time comparing myself
to anyone. What has to happen for me to love my present life with a great
future instead of looking in the rearview mirror all of the time? It’s so
important to become a dreamer that isn’t afraid of trying out different life
choices to grasp your life focus. It’s sometimes tiring or scary but the sooner
you start this journey the sooner you will stop comparing yourself to those
around you.
Start living and learning about your life passion and make a
difference!
