A conversation took place that went loosely along these lines:
Kris: I have all this potential but I never do anything with it. How can I get past the crap and do what I want to be doing?
Arlen: At any given moment we are doing exactly what we want to be doing. There is always a choice. Everything is a choice.
Because if we really put ourselves out there and give it a shot — and I mean the shot, the one golden bullet we were all blessed with, and are met with failure or rejection, we will have to let go of the notion that sustains us — and I mean the notion, "If only I had done it, I would have been great".

Interesting take. Not necessarily comforting ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Becki, thanks so much for taking the time to visit & comment. I appreciate it. :) I'm starting to realize that the road to true happiness is not paved in comfort.

Oh honey, you are SO on the money! And I am fah-reaking out at the similarity of our posts at the current moment... same wavelength, for sure. I do know that Fear (capital F) plays a big role in my sometimes-inertia. (I also experience wildly confident spurts of productivity, so go figure...)
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you figure us out. Time to stop wasting time, eh?

Sounds like an interesting movie that sparked a lot of deep thoughts!

Okay, that's it. We are having a brain fuse right now. I'm going to go ahead and post tomorrow's post that I wrote earlier today so you can see what I'm talking about!

Hi Helene, aka the best Mommy blogger out there. The movie was so-so, but all it takes is one sentence that sparks one thought, eh?
