There are just things that you have to do

There are just things that you have to do, not for yourself, but because you believe in someone you think wants the best for you.  Whether you want to or need to or not, whether you like it a lot, a little, or abso-freaking-lutely dislike it.  There are just things you have to do. I just experienced doing that today.  It's such a saddening experience but God really has a plan for all of us.  You only have to listen to your heart and believe that he does.  If you've read the alchemist, you know what I'm talking about.  Everyone must learn how to read the signs. Everyone must learn how to listen to their own heart.  Let us all not be blinded by all the clutter that the world presents us, let us center ourselves, set a priority, and hope that there will only be a few rocks up ahead.  I did not say let's hope for the best.  Believe me my friend, the best will come.  You just have to have the courage to pursue it.  You have to know which part of the world is for you, and which part is against you.  Or which path in the world offers you a rest stop, a place to stay, to a point that you're not willing to leave it anymore, not knowing that that one was not the one intended for you.  That you were content, but not for the reasons you were born for.  Content not for the reasons you were made for, that you were cut out to be, the reason you've waited for all your life. A rest stop that taught you to believe this is all there is to it.  A rest stop that robbed you of what could have been.  Avoid those.  When that place comes, my friend, know not to rest.  Go on.  If you must rest, rest somewhere that will leave you uncomfortable, a place that will keep you moving forward along the road that you were born to travel.  Never be content, never stop moving.  For, after all, someday you will be content, and you'll look back and connect the dots, and you'll find out that a place wasn't what you were looking for, but a journey.  And when you do look back on that road you traveled, you wouldn't care anymore if there was a cliff behind you.  You'd look back with all courage, walk backwards, appreciating life looking behind you, knowing that the few added steps you've been given is a just a bonus, and know that you are, at that moment, content.
