in our world where convenience is pursued at pretty much any cost, it seems like with all of our luxuries, we are only perpetuating laziness. a lot of what we used to have to fight for we're given or we've come to expect it to somehow fall into place. we've adopted the idea of 'destiny' and 'fate', almost to the point of allowing us to choose to do nothing under the idea that it will work out in the end. and i believe that it will, but it begs the question: what are we missing out on when we operate like this?
it seems like the integrity of our life experience is at stake when we plan it out and expect it to work according to our plan. we say things like, "right now just isn't a good time"...with the obvious assumption that somewhere down the road the option will be available again...but why aren't we going after experiences instead of waiting until the timing is right? life is full of unknowns. how is putting things on the 'back burner' anywhere close to carpe diem? we can't dictate the unknown and yet we continue to try.
and well, that's not for me.
i want the inconvenient, sacrificial, spontaneous, inspiring kind of life, love, legacy....
