from the mind of critic-10/20/16

From the mind of critic: “If we’ve reached a point in our lives where we know what we want and we know what we don’t want, does it make it harder to get what we want because we’re more picky? Are the end results we dream of harder to acheive, because our choices are clear as to what’s to our benefit, and what’s to our detriment? Or is it harder to acheive our dreams, because although we know what we want, so many others out there who might be amongst those who help us acheive what we want, don’t know what they want themselves, therefore are unwilling or unable to help anybody else? Or is it a combination of the two? Spending enough time and figuring, finding, discovering, exploring and experiencing what we want, doesn’t mean it will fall in our lap. Maybe we’re being tested by having adversity thrown in our face. Maybe the adversity is self-inflicted because although we know what we want, we haven’t found it yet, and we see all these other people around us who seemingly have found what they want and seem happy, but are just putting up a front because they aren’t happy, haven’t found what they truly want and feel they have to go through the motions, because they think that’s what society wants them to do. We might not have control over getting what we want, but figuring out what we want, is the first step in acheiving it. Will we ever get what we want or what we think we deserve, who knows. Will we be fulfilled and figure out what we want if we stay open, conscious and kind to ourselves so we can take advantage of oppurtunities when they come along, absolutely” 🙂
