Do we ever see it? Or, are we just blind?

People, my many MyLot friends do we ever see it? Or, are we just blind? I ask you. I implore you to just read this and give it a good thought. I had a though or maybe a day dream, a vision of my life maybe? I don't know which, but I do know it made me think. I know people pick what they want to do with their lives. Or, do we? I mean are you lonely because you want to be or because you can't find the right one for you? Are you poor because you choose to be or you just don't know how to become rich? Do you even know anyone who is rich? I was just thinking why did I never take that trip over the ocean that I wanted too? Well, I said, "I was not old enough, then when I got older it was I did not want to go alone. Then when I got married so I was not alone, it was we don't have the money. When we got the money saved up, I said nope, I got kids I have to save for them." Always there was an excuse. Maybe, it is not we choose to have the life we do but we are just scared to go further then what we can see. People give their selves limits and follow the rules which is very good but do we give our selves rules that we do not know about? If we break the rules then we get in trouble or we are called wild, entrepreneur, go getter. There are so many things to be called but most people would rather just settle. So, they don't miss out on the things they know they can reach in life. Do we settle? Have you settled? When you pass away will you be happy with what you have chosen? Or, will your last thoughts be I wish I had... I wish I did not settle! Please, let me know what you really think! I just am curious?

i am happy w/my life. things could be better but they could be a whole lot worse. happiness is a state of mind. u can either except things as they are or make yourself miserable by wishing for the impossible.

Hi. one wonder what there epilog will be. will it be the standard few lines listing a few loved one and the arrangements.Can anyone put to paper the heartaches, achievements and triumphs of hopefully a long and prosperous life.How would one pen the mother love for a child weaken from a bad dream or the man dogged determination to work through the pains of providing for his family.We can only work at life putting one foot in front of the other till it is our time. sharing our love with the ones that mean the most to each of us. we will make mistakes and wrong decision this is part of life.it is my belief that the true measure of a man or woman will be left in the memory of those touched by them in those small jester that can not be pen-ed.

Hi there!
I believe there is no way for us to see what will happen in the future. Although life is what we make it. What we do today could be a result of what will happen tomorrow. Like if we decide to do this and that we would know the exact result. Of course, we would want things to end up fine if not better but in life there are unexpected things that could happen and we cannot control them.
The best thing to do is that whatever be the result, learn to accept things wholeheartedly, whether good or bad. If it's bad try to learn from it and make it better. If it's already good then be thankful, get hold of it and make it even more better.
What I do is try live in the now. I always think of things to better my life in a daily basis, step by step. I do think of my future but not that much that I would think deeply of a larger future someday cause I wouldn't know what will happen tomorrow. I dream too, to have this and that someday. Some I have already reached and lost, while some still a dream and hoping to reach it. I just try to be happy always and I hope you're happy too.
Ciao!
