An Ounce of Greatness
November 28, 2006 by edzguanko
(This is an excerpt from a post I’ve written back in May. I posted it here to remind me that I need to focus and get some order back into my life.)
…I can’t turn back time. So my only option if I want to change my life is to stay focused. Now is the time to be an adult. Do I waste my time thinking about things that could have been, or do I take the necessary actions to shape my future? I am through daydreaming. I am tired of thinking that someday I’ll be a better person. I don’t want to wake up and realize that I’m old and miserable because I wasn’t able to do the things I want to do.
I believe that each of us has been given an ounce of greatness, and it is up to us to nurture that. Me, I do not hope to be great. But I will do the best I can, and hope to be at least good. I owe that to myself. So when I’m old and dying, I could look back in my life, smile, and say, "I can’t top that!"
Well, I can see that you are still in a roller coaster, as shown in your blogs. Although many things can remind you, it is only the action that is waiting to be realized. However, let me tell you this … when it is about love, focus is hard to come by. If that is the essence of you with no pretenses, then perhaps writing is one of your ways to focus.
