Wisdom

Do we truly grow wiser with age? if we did would we not learn from past mistakes? yet so often we seem to find ourselves in that rut of life doing the same things over and over, expecting things to be different, yet are they? This is not to say we can not get out of the rut, but to often that rut feels pretty comfy, so it is easy to fall back to repeat what we have already done, after all, we have committed many hours to getting in this deep, change simply means we would have to start all over again, and maybe we would just dig a new rut? Or change just isn't that easy, we make more mistakes when we change things, much easier to repeat the same mistakes, at least here we know what to expect, new mistakes means we have to think and isn't that a strange concept!! Ah my friends, life is change and growing, moving past and upward, sure that rut is comfy, and to leap from a cliff scares the crap out of us at times, yet, there lays the adventure, change.. we are never to old to change, never to old to learn something new, to step from the what was to the what is.. great moments in history didn't happen from man or woman seeking the most comfortable way, they happened from those that stepped up and out and took the challenge that faced them and when that goal was met, they took on the next, so rise up and fight, be brave and be encouraged, it's easy to be a part of the crowd, so step up and away and accept the challenge that faces you this day and the next.. the tower wasn't made cause some one didn't think outside the box they lived in, or the bridges that span the waters or the towers and monuments that cover this world, and what of flight, how long did we strive to take to the air, ahhh the challenges of life, tis a sweet thing to be alive, enjoy every moment of everyday. - PA 12/2/13
