"I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma." - Eartha Kitt
This past year or so has been a whirlwind. It's been full of loss, life, and changes of all sorts. Like life tends to do, it threw me off balance, and it had my drive and creativity in a state of limbo. There's always been a bunch of dreams floating around in my heart, just like in your heart, but I think the tough part is figuring out how to navigate the path you're on so you merge with the path you seek.
The above quote from Ms. Kitt makes me think about how nobody ever, ever, has it all figured out. Our role models, mentors, spiritual leaders... they might not have their life figured out any more than the next person, and that's okay. Even if you do think you have things figured out, chances are something will happen to flip that upside down, too. And that's okay. Everybody is always learning. I learn more about myself everyday, and things are changing everyday, which means there will always be new things to learn.
"I think the tough part is figuring out how to navigate the path that you're on so you merge with the path you seek" = Yes! That one line is seriously speaking to my current state of mind at the moment. The letting go and telling myself that it's ok to not have everything figured is what I'm working to come to terms with and accept. Sometimes I put to much pressure on myself I guess. And I've heard alot about this "Life changing magic of cleaning up" book. Will definitively add it onto my list of books to read when the semester is over :)
