Most people live the life that happens...

[ThePresence]

...instead of the life they want.

A smart man just told me that.

Exactly what I said. His answer "Yes, it's hard to figure out. Easy to say, but hard to act on it. Most people first really figure it out when they're in their 60's and 70's." He's in his 70's.

I've been doing that for the last 34 years, but it's all about to change now that we have purchased a business. It's something I've always wanted to do.

Very true...but what if you don't know what you want? I know what I don't want (not terribly happy with my current situation), but I'm not sure what else I could do...

Bah. No matter what, you're living the life that happens. That's like saying you breathe the air that enters your lungs.
Even if you're living the life you want, you're still living the life that happens.

Wherever you go, That's where you are.

Wherever you go, there you are.

Do I need to call the Zen master into this thread?

And how about another quote for the fire...

I'm in the same boat, I think it comes with being in your 20's.

 

[spidey07]

Did you just watch City Slickers by any chance? It reminded me of what Curly said.
