Want and Have...
Is there a difference between wanting and having something?
When you want it, you strive for it, you desire it.
So you find all ways and loopholes to acquire it.
When you've already got it (yes, you appreciate it!!), you have to work hard at maintaining what you own or even giving up later having to find out it wasn't all that good to have it after all.
It could be an object, a person, a dream, an ambition...
You get the point.
How do you know if you are meant to own something? That you were made for a special purpose. Yes, everyone can do anything but I also believe that each and every individual has their own specific traits and natural talents.
What do you do when you lose it? You can consciously see it drifting away and you're left unsure whether it is really happening. It might be an illusion but yet you can touch it.
What is a dream if it can't be fulfilled? What use of an interest if you can't expand that into passion? I wonder at times, when I've worked so hard for something, when I'm so near to the finish line, was it worth all the effort? Sometimes you get pulled away when you are so close. At other times, you reached the finish line only to have everything else get out of control.
Now I'm faced with 3 roads, and the road less travelled has spikes with a grizzly bear waiting to eat me. That would stop me dead in my tracks. The other 2 has me smooth sailing but I would probably blame myself for not being eaten or walking into those spikes.
Does this post even add up to what I'm trying to say? O___o
