"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There is no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are not rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it."
Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Screenplay
Journals keep a perfect timeline depicting the challenges of life and how we choose to respond. It is the proverbial 'one step forward, and two steps back'. The options presented may not be delightful or timely, but nevertheless, we must choose to continue forward.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button continues: "I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again."
Life would be boring if we were never forced to experience change. It pulls us out of our comfort zone just when we become most comfortable. If we remain in one place too long, whether mental or physical, we can become stagnant. Life is to be lived to the fullest which triggers spontaneity, diversity, flexibility, and trust. When we pursue our challenge, results are usually life changing.
Life was not meant to be easy, I don't believe, nor was it meant to be monumentally difficult. The longer we avoid our challenges, the more complex they become. Ideally, we pursue small challenges on a regular basis so we are better prepared to creatively indulge the greater changes.
Love this! Thank you!
