About two weeks ago, this was in the paper and I just had to laugh. Mike Peters frames this perfectly and sometimes you feel like this when you are going through life.
Lately I have been thinking a lot about decisions and how we deal with things in life. It is a scary thing and you never know what is going to happen. To keep going, however, you put one foot in front of the other and keep going.
I refuse to be held hostage by my fears. There are things I do because I never have done it before, or because it scares the daylights out of me. Example: Cliff jumping. I am not a fan of heights, but my desire to play outweights that. In Jackson I jumped off of an eight foot rock into the lake. Nothing huge, but it was exhilerating for me because I started to overcome something that is a black hole. I did the same think in Lake Powell a few years ago, but I think it was a little taller.
In the last years of my life I have become better about dealing with life. Everything used to be a crisis and I would get sad. Then I realized there was more to life and I could either become stronger, or weaker, as a result of the situations.
Life is scary and it is hard, and that is what makes it exciting. It is just up to you on how you deal with it.
