Same-ole' same-ole? I think not.

For a while, I thought that maybe I was just boring... listening to the same music, over and over... enjoying the same game, for years at a time... etc, etc. ... Does that make me sound complacent? Perhaps a bit, but I am not unadventurous... I finally put it into words tonight, when the Wizard of Oz came on tv. Yes, I've seen it several times before. Sometimes just in parts - the beginning, or the end or whatever, but I know the story well. This time, I looked at it with a whole new perspective. I understood a new meaning that I had not thought of before, or at least not in the same way.

I realized that life is much the same way. There's little in this world that has not been done, said, seen, or felt before. But even if we are creatures of habit, things are ever changing. We are not as boring as we might think we are sometimes. If you look for it, you'll find new meaning in even the smallest of places in your life, every single day.

4-letter word..... Love

Love, sexuality, companionship. Whatever you want to label it. This is a 3-fold process.

Mental, physical, and spiritual.

It is a combination of all 3. Without all 3, it is not whole, complete, or fulfilling.

Actions & Reactions

Yes, everything happens for a reason. But it's not for some great, grand scheme pre-planned by a divine entity. Every action is a reaction to some other action. We hold the power to shape the outcome of our own domain by influencing it. We will always do this anyway, so why not do it in a positive and beneficial way? Even NO action causes a reaction. So mold your own path, shape your own future, and take control over your own life. After all, not only you hold this power. Make it what you want it to be, not what it becomes because of the results of others' actions.

A lesson for the day, on day 29
-------------------------------
Do not be afraid to exercise wisdom. Reach out; act on things. Don't wait for life to happen. Make life happen for you. You have more power than you may realize to shape your future, and change your path, if you desire. Set your goals and work your way towards them. Don't dress for the job you have: dress for job you want to have. Apply this to your life. Take the wheel . . . and drive.

Now. Remember not to become so self-sufficient as to live in isolation!
