It's the Questions That Guide Us

     There are times when I look at my life and wonder - how the hell did I get here? The easy answer is: I got here by way of the paths I have chosen to walk thus far. However, that response leaves me feeling, perhaps a bit unsettled, as all it does is create more doorways from which more questions are revealed, that I may never find the answers to either. 


     After my initial post here, I began thinking even more about all of the questions in life that I may never be able to answer. Then, after a full day of nearly driving myself mad wondering and searching for invisible trails that would lead to ultimate truths, I realized that if I spend all of my time worrying that I'll never find the answers, then I surely will not. 


     It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy - if I say I can't, then I can't.


     On the other hand, if I spend that time searching myself and my life for the answers through experience and personal growth, then at least if I don't find them I will surely still have learned something along the way - even if it's just finding a better and more productive way of spending my time.
