Sitting at a Yellow Light.
"Stop." I've never liked that word being directed at me. Like most kids, when I was told to stop I would look at the person giving this demand as if they were speaking a language I had never heard nor cared to.
That is a look that I still give to people. I am told more than often "I'm only doing this so you will drop it & be satisfied". I guess to some this may make me seem like a brat but I prefer to use the word persistent. :)
In my pursuit of happiness,today I was told to "Stop". Not by a person but by circumstances. I knew there would be roadblocks that is why I said in the beginning I could not really give a definite time on obtaining my goal. It is still disappointing though when everything is on track, to have a major setback.
So now, I am on to plan B even though I was told to stop....whatever that word means! ;)

Where is my "Yellow Brick Road"?!
In seek of my Pursuit of happiness I keep coming up with one word that scares me from taking the next step..."unknown"
I keep thinking - what if this, what if that...The way things are now are fine and I know what to expect...right?
Then it hit me,Think how many times a day your "plans" change. I cannot be 100% sure about anything in life, I can plan, map it all out, and still nothing is certain - there is always going to be that "unknown".
I looked up the definition for unknown:
~unknown
1. not known, understood, or recognized
2. not established, identified, or discovered
Then I thought about most situations in my life and they all seem to fit this definition so why would I let a fear that I battle and defeat daily without even ever really realizing it stand in the way of my pursuit? I can't, I won't.
"Be strong even when you think you are not able and do whatever it takes to be happy...whatever it takes."
Next adventure: at a fork in the road....in the grand scheme both lead to the unknown....which path do I take?!

In Pursuit....
I started this blog as more of a stress reliever, just somewhere to say what I am thinking and feeling and I figured nobody but my mama would ever read it haha :) but I often have friends call me and say "Was today's blog post about/for me?!".
I think that is one of my favorite things about posting - hearing from you. I sit down and write out my thoughts, fears, stress, memorable moments....and more than likely I am going to hear from someone telling me they can relate.
That's what today's post is about - when I post 9/10 times I am preaching to the choir - me. I know this but It was recently brought to my attention from a friend who emailed me giving me examples from my blog of things I have said and ways that I have felt but how I maybe do not follow my own "advice". I know his intentions were for the best and that is exactly how they were taken, he was in no way being inconsiderate but instead he was holding me accountable - which we all need daily!
After reading his email (which, if you happen to read this, I promise I will reply to) I started thinking and looked back over a few of my post and found a recurring message...Be strong even when you think you are not able and do whatever it takes to be happy...whatever it takes. So obviously this tells me that I am not completely doing whatever it takes if I seem to post about how to do it so often! I am not saying that I am not a happy person, I know without a doubt that I am blessed beyond what I should be, but I am saying that I could be happier if I were not "scared" to be!
So this is it - I am stepping out and doing what it takes...Just the thought of this is very nerve wracking, bittersweet, scary, safe, crazy, and so on but if all of those emotions add up to having what it takes then I am ready to face each of them! ( I can only imagine the upcoming emotion filled blog posts haha) This may take a week, month, or year/s but regardless I am going to stop letting the "What if's, coulda, shoulda, and woulda's" get in my way...life is too short even if I live to be 100 to have those!
Watch out world....I am finished just writing about it but I am taking action and stepping out in claim of my Pursuit of Happiness...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
