Our goals and aspirations often bloom so easily as we work towards what we often see as our own destiny. Things do happen and we so often view a variety of areas as having some meaning when we look back and reflect. Yet we go forward. Any given aspiration or desire certainly does require the effort and gives way to our to what we plan as well as hope towards with.
On the other hand the challenges along our very paths can have as much meaning within the entire realm of life. Life is not only those times that go smoothly but it's those times in which we forge ahead - but not in vain. The unique satisfaction, which comes within all of it, is the ones own achievement in the past - present and future and we sometimes we don't realize that we are in the creating within the very moment of each minute, each hour and each day of our lives.
Obstacles are merely what they are that we forge past within our own pathways of life. Keeping faith is in being true to what we believe in and when we have achieved, it empowers one to take the next step. So often we think we feel that we need to find the answers where the answers lay right within us and within the surroundings that we inherit.
Going forward is within understanding and no matter what the challenge may be we know. As we all have the options and really are attune to what we do within our lives as we live it each and every day.
I was walking today where I spend a lot of time at the River Walk..there are people of all ages and stages of fitness there. There are a lot who run or jog. It's hard work but they are there daily. You get to remember faces and even talk to some when you go somewhere often. I walk because I like to. It is as much as a spiritual and thoughtful experience to me as it is physical exercise. Some days I just take my time and it seems the river walk world passes me up because I like to pause and take photos or stand and watch the deer and the ducks. It gives me a peaceful feeling but I also have been trying to bring my weight down so other times I try and pick up the pace...Used to bother me at first that even when I try to walk fast I'm slower than a lot of people...maybe it's my shortness as I'm only 5' one half inch tall,,Gotta get the half inch in there...LOL
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that I'm getting stronger though for the walking especially after going up some of those hills...my legs were really sore at first..I just keep going . I'm not in a race with anyone and I do what is good for my own well being.Keeping faith that I will get stronger and faster and in better health though it all..but I'll always take time to pause and watch the deer , check out progress on the mill and take my camera out of my pocket often !
Goodnight have an excellent weekend
This half was terrific Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteIs terrific ,very well said
ReplyDeleteAfter my jaunt to the hospital - again I went and took my father out as so while I wait on the "system" I do take things in but I don't push it too much till the legs have an outcome medically.
ReplyDeleteWithin it all he is the one to the very left and when I see him and after the amounts of cancer he has gone throught and putting that aside I do either my own thing during this time and as well I do make way for my family as it's a good thing to do. He could be very embarrassed with all that he has gone through but he keeps on ticking he is to the right.
ReplyDeleteSo within every portion of each day right now I don't look at things negative I will work my own legs and I know they will be fixed but this man whom is my father has literally surpassed many medical things and there is always something within a portion of the day.
As the choice is to do or not to do. And by all means that is not negative it's based on what one deems as good.
Great Post ~ Your words "Going forward is within understanding and no matter what the challenge may be we know. As we all have the options and really are attune to what we do within our lives as we live it each and every day." Also ~ your side bar ~ "Where there's a will there's a way" ~ great quote my friend ~ thank you for the read here ~ also, thank you for visiting, hugs:)
ReplyDeleteYour most welcome as I saw your blog from visting one friend on here and I saw some of your writes and they were ironically within the area of value...
ReplyDeleteI think if there was never any challenges, life would be boring and we would not learn to appreciate the simplicity that it can be.
ReplyDeleteSalaam!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are happy brother, Jack!
Jack, for me ... challenges are what life is made of, without those life would be an entirely boring one. Its one way of knowing too how far can we meet that challenges and proved our worth.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, how are you now ... how's your legs ... is it still painful[?] I pray you're healing well and that's there's nothing wrong with your legs. I mean it, Jack.
I saw your dad pic, down ... from his pic, i could see his recovering fast ... hope so with mom ... God bless to all. ~ tess :)))
Salaam Ali,
ReplyDeleteYes I am regardless of an accident I certainly am and glad to see you.
How are things there within Iran since....before.
Challenges are the meaning of life. Every day if we don't have a challenge what is the purpose? My legs are where they are and I have just arrived home and as here I have a doctor that only seemingly works three days of the week. But I have went here to my insurance with my car. And now in addition to either writing off my car, or fixing it they will be setting up a medial plan in addition so it will place a push on not only my doctor but on the system.
ReplyDeleteAfter that I went for a walk and it's all going well as I mentioned before Tess I will never drive nor take a narcotic until it really is needed. Yeah my father and mother are doing well. I think that two married people enjoy there own time and healing together. My father came to be reliant on her while I was away for nearly 3 years but he is a determined man and at the same time I think that two people cherish that time to heal together so I don't get that involved other than taking him out now and then to get out amongst people. As he is much like me as we thrive in engaging with people.
My mother - she came to being one that was the foundation but right now she is not well but I truly believe it's on the medication that she is on and their South African doctor had another emergency with his own life and he has passed the buck and not asked another doctor to tend to them. They have to find there own way and next week they will have a nurse that goes into see them everyday as well there has been an arrangement for a person to come in for them to take care of the house cleaning so it's what it is...
Life is a choice and after that choice we must be brave to take all the consequences of the choices.
ReplyDeleteA deep post Jack. I like this. Thanks.
