Feeling Quiet
Hearing You're Beautiful by James Blunt
Things I learned from watching television...
1. Everyone gets a certain number of heartbeats in their lifetime. Some more than others but we all have the same opportunity... no, the obligation to make every one of them count for something. That doesn't mean nonstop action... just continuous living. We all get bogged down at some time or another ... no one can resist that... but the clock doesn't stop ticking. Time doesn't stand still and it doesn't wait. Life is precious. Treat it as such.
2. Even with that being said, sometimes the dreams and the goals that I harbor within my heart have to be put off, even sacrificed under certain circumstances, for the greater good. It doesn't make it any easier knowing this but while I do have to live, still I must do so unselfishly. What's good for me doesn't necessarily make it the best possible scenario for the others that would be affected by the decisions I make in order to reach that outcome. Slowing down just long enough to consider the consequences to my actions might save a lot of pain and discomfort in the long run. That's worth avoiding although some people I know would argue with me that I think too much and that pain is an integral part of living, a source of vital learning. Still, I want to avoid it as much as possible. Even at cost.
