Isn't It Interesting?

Isn't it interesting how different we are? How easily we can connect with someone and still be so unique? It's funny, really, how life works, how we get to that point where we feel like we finally understand. We finally know ourselves, and yet, somewhere in the process of getting there, we end up right back where we started - unknowing and uncertain of everything. It's interesting, that even in a life filled with achievements and progress, we can feel so insecure and unaccomplished. Life never waits for us to be ready, to get everything right the first time. It's interesting that some lessons are so easy to learn and others take so much time to accept. Change can make a fool out of each of us. We feel content, and then something humbles us, knocks us to the ground. Sometimes, for a while, the ground is all we see. But simply wondering if others have seen it too, doesn't change the ground to blue skies. We have to do that part ourselves. And often, by doing so, we can help others to understand. We call this life. Isn't it interesting?

I know I'm "new" to blogging compared to Matt, but I can't let him take credit for this one. 100% my thoughts in this post. Do not be fooled by his bloggyness.

Now I'm confused, but to whomever these thoughts belong, I was impressed. At first read I thought it was an excerpt from a novel or even a Gen Conf talk. I like it because it invited a moment of contemplation on my own life's journey thus far. So often I am inspired to accomplish things that I believe will be the answer. That whatever I am lacking will somehow be filled by this title, that grade, or this award. Yet when I get there, I see a whole new valley and another mountain range to climb. The only content and confidence I gain comes not from 'becoming' something or 'acheiving' something magnificent, but in learning that despite my former fear and self- doubt, I actually made it where I wanted to go.
