Life’s Lemons.

It seems that life is NOT without a sense of irony. Just when everything starts falling into place it falls apart. I guess life just has its own twists and turns. Some turns are surprisingly for the better–some are just surprising.

The past few months had a dreamlike quality. Life was rather easy. I just knew it could not last, that somehow something hideous is waiting for me in the next bend.

Sometimes I think we must not expect happiness. It is not something we deserve. When life goes well, it is a sudden gift; it cannot possibly last forever.

But then what are we to hope for if not hope for happiness? Hope for an early painless death?

Pathetic.

There are a million things in this world I’d rather do. There’s a whole world out there waiting for me. I’m not about to be bothered by a few difficulties.

I think it was the sudden deaths of the people I knew that jolted me into awareness once again. It reminded me that life is short. Too short to be bothered by petty things like false appearances, minor inconveniences and the constant hubbub of humanity around us. Rather we must pursue the things that have greater impact. We must look beyond our borders, and not to be limited by the things we see around us.

Sometimes we are limited only by our own minds. There is really NOTHING WE CAN NOT DO if we put our minds to it.

IF WE DREAM WHY NOT DREAM BIG?
