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?!
