It's interesting how life works. The people you meet, when you meet them, and also how. Life leads you in directions and paths...some in the way we want, and sometimes it's not quite what you may have had in mind, yet within that different direction there are different opportunities. Ones that would not have been there before.
I've deemed myself and optimistic pessimist. I told this to a shrink once and she told me she had never heard that before, guess it was too deep?? Yes, it is an oxymoron in itself, but let me explain. I happen to know that things will go wrong, they usually do. Not horrifically wrong, but just wrong enough to make me believe, or prepare myself that is, for the worst. NOW::: on the other hand, I HOPE things will go well (the optimist view). No matter how bad I perceive the outcome to be, I still see that teeny, tiny light at the end of the tunnel. This is what keeps me going, that small chance I'll find that tunnel because I KNOW it's there.
The fact is: anything is possible. The good, the bad, you just never know. It all depends on so many factors. That is why I have to say my belief system lies in good old coincidence, or being at the right place at the right time. Each person creates their own path, it's the chance, the precise timing that puts that "perfect thing" in your path. Some will call it destiny or fate, but that leaves out something very important...free will. Everything a person does is their choice.
Being a waitress now, I meet so many people that are rich and successful. I tell them all about my process, my art, believing every word that resonates off my tongue. If only one of these people will believe in me, as much as I do. There are so many of them burning their money just for fun, which is great, but if only one could give me that kind of fuel for my fire.
This has been a pretty deep post, but i had to get it out. And hey, it HALLOWEEN. Funny, it's the one day that people "pretend" to be someone else and yet it's the one day I can be myself and not get the crazy looks all those people give me. ( I still got them anyway, but at least there was a reason for it)
Hope everyone is well out there....Happy Halloween!!!!
