Most people go through the motions of living and suddenly one day wake up to see that most of their life is gone...
Many choose a way of life thinking this is the direction they want their life to take, only to realize that that road has too many diversions that make the road longer, slip roads that lead to nowhere and too many obstacles to go around...
Many live from day to day, not thinking about where their life is going - it is just enough to get through the day...
There are many such permutations and combinations, but the bottom line is that only very, very few people actually can live life the way they want, do the things they want...
And this has nothing to do with the economics of living.....it is something spiritual.
So, what of those who have to do many, many things they don't like, or don't want to do, or their heart is not in?
We have to enjoy whatever tiny thing that we really like, comes our way, and learn to do the things we don't want to do and wish we could avoid doing, as graciously as we can...
