Yesterday, while I was running, it was very windy & I noticed a girls hair blowing in the wind. Her hair was straight, beautiful golden brown color, & probably just past her shoulders. The wind was blowing so hard that her hair was horizontal & whipping in the wind. As I continued on my run, I saw another girl with hair that was to the nape of her neck, straight, & dark. Her hair was not as affected by the wind.
I continued on thinking about how the wind affected those girls hair differently. This reminded me of the differences in many of us & how we react to the world around us. Some people live very freely & things around them often affect their actions. Others live a more structured life, going through motions, & things that happen around them don't affect them as much. Is one way a better way to live?
Many times people from both groups want to be more like the other. I can't say that one way is better than the other, but sometimes people get into patterns that are not in line with the way they feel in their hearts. They act "how they perceive they should," following the norm & keeping in line with the Jone's. If this is not in line with how they really feel in their heart, they will become unhappy & begin to act out while they are trying to get their life into the right balance. I believe that people need to constantly reflect on their life & the direction they are going & make sure that it matches the direction that they REALLY want to go.
Today, I just challenge you to take a look at your life & ensure that you are not following a pattern just because they feel like it is "what someone their age" should do. Your life is exactly that "Your Life" & I believe that you deserve to be happy. I wish you all Peace, Love, & Happiness in everything you do.
Bless You,
Thomas
