There was always a balance. And that balance is probably what saved me from being broken. My father was not an easy man to live with and I never ever wanted to disappoint him, and to this day, that is still very true. My mother was that graceful, gentle, loving, and forgiving presence.

I respect them both immensely. They made me the woman that I am today, for better or for worse. I am truly grateful for everything that they are and were. I was blessed.

You were, for certain. The proof is the strong and articulate person you are today. :heart:
 
Choices. When given a choice, any choice, what is the first thing that guides your decision? Do you immediately consider why's best for you? Are you swayed by a sense of right vs wrong? Do you consider the greater good? Or do you simply react, allowing your instincts to guide you?

If were talking life choices....jobs, marriage...no marriage, extra commitments etc..I always think of how it will affect my family first. Like many here I'm an over thinker... I have learned recently though...to say no to somethings, even if it's for the greater good. (Like volunteering for everything under the sun lol)
If we're talking a choice between hot lusty sex or cheesecake. ..I'll let my instincts guide me;)

You should let titties guide you. Let the titties be your light.

Now, go my friend. Go and earn your feather.
 
So an Amen! brought the thread to a halt. Makes note , that could come in handy.

Easy, that's what we all want in life. Press the easy button and it's all taken care of. No one one signs up for struggle and strife and yet a lot of us are handed that. And of course we all say, our struggles made us who we are today, but so would have everything been easy. Sure we might be different and whose to say that wouldn't be better?

The question, then.......if possible, would you have taken an easier path to get to where you are today? If not, do you actively seek out the more difficult approach in order to be better off in the end?
 
I don't know that there is such a thing as an easier path.
With an easier path, I probably wouldn't have gotten here at all.
 
I've had a pretty easy life. I mean, I've had my difficulties. Sure. But I don't know that there is an easier path to get where I am today. Sure, I would've done some things differently. But I don't know how much of that path would change, as most of the things I would change likely have little or no effect on my current situation, as a whole.

Our situations can often be so dark and gloomy in our own eyes. But in comparison, they're often much better than most. So, I try to put my life in perspective. And, compared to most, I'm doing okay and I don't really have cause to complain.

A wise man once said, "We aren't who we are because of how we react to the peaks in life. Anyone can come out triumphant when things are good. Our character and who we are are formed in valleys."
 
The events that changed me the most were things I had no control over. So, you could say I already did it my way as much as anyone can.

I do not seek out difficulty. I mull over possible scenarios and outcomes in my head, first. Then, I choose the one with the best probable outcome, not necessarily the quickest or easiest path.
 
I don't really trust anything that comes easy. It makes me wonder when the other shoe is going to drop, so to speak.
That being said, I think I pay more attention to what I want the outcome to be. If it comes easy, then I'm just more wary. If it takes work, I'm willing to work.

Hmmmm, well said and very true.
 
No, I don't knowingly seek out a more difficult path. I thrive off of simplicity in life, and also to surrendering to what life brings. This brings happiness and contentment when things are okay and peace and contentment in difficult times when they do arrive.

Would I have taken an easier path? I don't subscribe to the illusion that I have total control over everything that happens, and I am who I am today because of the path that was chosen for me, no matter how cliche that may seem.

That being said, looking back over my life, in the words of Kenny Chesney... I'd done a lot of things different. I have no way of knowing if my path would have been any easier, but that matters not to me. What matters is the uncertainty that it may have been easier for those around me that were affected by my choices. Knowing this, living with this, I have had to accept that this is the path that I am on, that much of living is in the unknown, and that this is what has been chosen for me and for those that I love, whether I like it or not.

We don't come here to live an easy or a hard life. We simply come here to live our lives, whatever that may be. We are born from love. My purpose here is to remember where I came from and to be grateful for the gift I have been given. It's not my place to judge or decide if it could have been easier or not; that would only cause me pain. I'll be darned if I waste the most precious thing I've been given living in agony. I see it all of the time in the world around me and it breaks my heart. I'll be darned if I subject the people in my life to seeing me like that.

My most important task here is to accept my path and to walk my path with as much grace as I can. And in doing so, I hope to instill that into those around me. It is the best I can give to them.
 
The question, then.......if possible, would you have taken an easier path to get to where you are today? If not, do you actively seek out the more difficult approach in order to be better off in the end?

I was on my own quite young. Mere existence was a struggle.

Today my life is easy by most standards. While it could be argued those difficult years are what pushed me to strive for my current situation, I would have preferred an easier path.

I am a suspicious decision maker. :)
 
I am a big believer in "work smarter not harder" so given the choice I would never choose the difficult path.
