Vindication is a breath of fresh
air. When was the last time you
experienced such satisfaction? You
defend your beliefs against all odds (not anonymously). Headwinds buffet you,
attempting to force you to tack except the current is running against you and
crosswinds make navigation treacherous.
As the last vestiges of strength and intestinal fortitude threaten to abandon
you something changes.
Life’s funny like that. It pushes you to the breaking point
sometimes. It’s up to us to soldier and
not surrender. You’ll learn more about
yourself if you persevere, something positive and uplifting. Yes I know it’s easy to tell others to keep
swimming through shark infested shoals as we ride in the motorized pleasure
craft. Unless you were born with a
silver spoon in your mouth or protruding from another bodily opening you earned
the right to enjoy the benefits of said vessel.
I’ve been in both places at
different points of my life. I refuse to
go back. Let’s move ahead together. Unfortunately we’ll leave things and people
behind as we get on with our lives.
Anchors sometimes protect us from drifting, other times they impede
advancement. There will be twinges of
regret plucking at heartstrings; memories pressed between the pages of our mind
the anchor that may no longer be a safe harbor.
If the promise of fulfillment beckons,
your decision will press against the limits of what you know. Venturing outside the comfort zone will be
fraught with uncertainty. But the pull
of your desire to move on will overwhelm you.
And if you choose to remain anchored, be prepared for the regret of not following
your heart. I’ve concluded it’s not worth
the anxiety of yearning to relive forsaken opportunities.
Free will is not free. There is a price to pay for decision or
indecision. Merge head and heart to
coalesce around the roadmap for your future.
I’m certain you’ll draw the conclusions that will keep you on the road
to happiness.
Love and hugs, Nikki DeCaro
