Life is not easy. If it was, we would all be on vacation. We have to fight and work hard if we really want to get results out of life. Sometimes it seems as if it is too hard but we need to look at the situation before we jump to fast…

Only 24% of the population has college degrees. Working for colleges I know how easy it is to give up. Taking all those courses you will never use but we all had to do it, and we survived. It is about commitment. I knew I didn’t want to keep the job I had working as a server so I had to get through school. It was so easy to skip class to be with friends and give up when the course was hard. I had to fight myself and learn that is was best to push through because I didn’t want to be where I was forever and this was my ticket out.

One of my friends was talking to me about relationships and mentioned this great metaphor about a balloon. You have to look at choices as a balloon that you are holding onto by a string. If the balloon is draining you and holding it back, let it go. But before you cut it free, make sure it is not lifting you up to where you need to be.

Living in the here and now is very important but you also need to remember the big picture. Where are you going? Make your choices on what will help you to get where you need to be. They may not be easy choices but they will be the best.
