Getting To Know Mijo Pt. 4

When looking back on your life, it's always a strange feeling. You get a feeling of nostalgia for what was, you realize certain emotions you had, and moments that were good for you and some that were bad. Reminiscing always kills me personally because I think of relationships that were, words that should have been said (or not) and opportunities that may or may not have been missed.

Rarely do you ever realize a pivotal moment in the present. That is one thing I am, and probably many of you, are trying to do. Being aware of the present moment is a hard thing to do with so many distractions and the speed at which our society tends to move, but as I move into a role in this community and workplace I am trying to be more aware of what is going on around me. I wear my heart on my sleeve so when things happen to me or things are said to me I analyze way more than I should. But that inner monologue I have makes me self-aware of who I am, who I am trying to be, and how I am affecting people around me.

Which leads me to my story. Yesterday I was having  a great day having fun at the workplace interacting with everyone and being the cheerful person I try to be. All it took was a look and a quick conversation and I realized something was different. As the day progressed, I started to realize that moment was a pivot in my life. As I stated above I analyze way too much and I have thought about it endlessly since it happened. This is a split in the road, a fissure in my life and I realize now as I writing this blog, it is time to take the first step.

I realize that this may seem over dramatic seeing how there are many problems in the world that overshadow small things in my life, but nonetheless this is a moment in MY life that I want to share with you. I have many blessings in my life, a strong family, two choices of clean water (hot and cold) where as many people don't have that luxury, food in my fridge, but this is a blog of personal growth and I wanted to share it. I know it seems cliché but when you do come to a split in the road, please take the road less traveled because in those instances you will realize so much more of yourself than you imagine.

I want to part with you one of my favorite quotes. “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” - A.A. Milne
