Introduction Looking at Life
The way your life is at the present moment, are you ready to face what tomorrow may hold? The swings in our lives move like the swings at a park, they are flexible. They can move, but they can also stop. It's nice to have that swing go as high as you can move it. It shows what life is capable of offering. At the age of one we cannot even get on the swing, having no idea how. As we get older, we become able, but at an elderly age, we once again cannot. Capabilities are what we learn as our age increases, but we lose them when we reach a certain point in our lives. In a way, that's a good thing, only because people can learn from each other. The older generation can go on for hours and hours, just talking about earlier years in this world. When they talk about the past, it fills their future with hope. It can also bring back moments in which they might have been proud of themselves. Seeing that their hearts do not have much more opportunity for self-fulfillment is sad. People should be able to speak their minds and take that chance at life. It's called freedom. This encourages younger generations to think, strive, complete, or be successful for themselves, seeking their chance to be the people they want to be. Some people can express their thoughts and feelings. Some people can even express themselves in a way that can deeply touch another person. They might have this gift hiding inside of them and not even know it. All it takes is a touch. It can bring out the best in us. However, I never took the time to put it all together, until now. I personally know how hard life can be. By yourself, it can be a struggle to see through the darkness. At that time, I could not see anything in existence that could slow me. It now bothers me to think that some people need to wait for an event in their lives to see the light or find a quest. In fact, all it takes is a blink of an eye, and a change can affect your whole future. There are times when we are not ready, not wanting to adjust, or when we think it can't happen to us. The reality is that life experiences can, do, and will occur. The question is, are you ready for that moment to make a difference in your life? This moment is the possibility to adjust to the future. What if you are not focused, involved, or concerned about that question? Despite your self-absorption, such an event like this could be heading your way. I was told in the past that God works in mysterious ways, but what do these words mean? How can a person use these five words to enhance his or her life? What if you do not follow or even believe in God. In any case, how far can your current outlook of life take you? It's what you put into life that comes out. The simple fact is that we all follow what works best for us. The words "best for us" underline what we will become, not knowing what lies ahead. We really don't know what's on the other side or what might happen down the road. I do know this, however: what is earned in trust can be given back. If you ever wonder regarding your outcome, then your outcome should be in the trust you have earned. The changes and roads we all arrive at in our lives can either break us or make us even stronger, and the time limits are unpredictable. It is sad when it takes a person a long time to find their way. It is depressing when a person is not even given that chance, either by age or accident. That is why I hope that this story can be helpful to you, because finding your destiny or being comfortable is a positive direction and the only way to prevail.
