Some things in this world are worth time and effort, others are not. The challenge is in distinguishing between the two. I have found in my adventures, the clues to unearth which is which are well hidden. At times, they are completely obscured. It is wasn’t till the dust had settled I was able to pick out shards of truth. Try as I might, some of red herrings were far from being discovered during the time of decision. Regardless if it was a bad choice or a good choice, it was a choice. The mistake is not in making a poor choice, but not questioning the choices we have made. It is this questioning stage which allows us to review our past and learn from mistakes. If we never learn where we put our effort, we will continually make the wrong choice and waste away our energy. We will eventually become miserable and exhausted. Yet another living zombie walking the streets and going through the motions of a human.
If we are able to focus our attention on what makes each of us happy, and then funnel our efforts into furthering a single goal. What seemed like a dream, too far away for even the men who walk on distant planets to reach, is suddenly in grasp. Some things are worth our time. Some things are not. Let us wade through the smoke of bridges set aflame and find out the source of the fire. Then once we know what we do subconciously, we can use it to burn everything delaying us from obtaining our goal.
