So im on my 2+ week christmas break. Its not technically a break because i have to do some make up work... but this is what i live for. No, not for feelings of ineptitude, i live for challenges. I love a challenge i embrace it. I was listening to NPR yesterday and they have a series called, "I believe", its an essay series where prodigious men and women simply [and cleverly] state what and why they believe. The man yesterday wrote about trials and tough patches. He was a marine biologist and he discovered that fish sometimes swim towards rough patches of water to surf through, he found it odd at first but after much study he found that depending on how the fish approach the rough current they can actually save energy riding the waves and get around faster.
I know i always wax philosophically about random inspirational moments in my life. But, I really do find some stuff existentially fulfilling. Im on this road called life, and on it i've found some interesting people and seen some interesting sights and road stops. As i approach a new fork in the road i know that its all the way you approach it. Trials dont always come to break you down or even make you stronger, sometimes they come as a reminder of what and where you need to be; versus who and what you are at that moment.
