Can I Live?..

What's going on blog world? Finishing off my break now and this has to be one of the few breaks I've actually enjoyed in a while. Didn't really do anything major but I came to a major revelation in the process so what's better than that? I'll get to that in a little while though...

I hate reading things that have nothing to do with their title so I'm going to go ahead and address mine now in case some of my readers have the same pet peeve. Can I Live?.. I've realized I've been suffering from trying to live in three different tenses. Meaning I'm trying to live in the present, the past, and the future, which can be as emotionally and physically draining as it sounds. A person can only be expected and should only allow themselves to live in the present because that's all that they can put their hands on at the current moment. Your past does influence your present and your present does shape your future but you can't realistically expect to change all three tenses...

This revealed itself it in a recent conversation with a very important person in my life as they subtly told me that I can't let anyone change how I live, not even them. I knew this but I had just recently truly noticed a change in myself because of my past. I haven't let go of a negative event in my past no matter how I may wish to admit to the opposite and I truly need to. Just as the words of that intellectual person has brought a new thought process to me, I'm hoping my words do the same for you..

People always say it doesn't matter where you are from, it is where you are in life and I truly believe that. You must stay aware of your past only to avoid making mistakes you made but you can't live attempting to constantly correct those because they are nonexistent and there are more prevalent issues that will enter your life everyday. So seize the moment, live in the present and don't worry about where you will end up, just enjoy the road there and trust that you are taking the right steps to the future you want...

Don't waste your life in doubts and fears: spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.
