At some point in life,....

…I think we have to lose our desire to desire.  Desire can be fulfilling…too fulfilling.  It gives up hope.  It feeds our aspirations.  I whispers tomorrow’s promise as we fight through today.  It’s euphoric, ineffable.  But at some point, desire must give way to work that we might meet progress .  And work is…work.  It’s mundane and tedious; arduous and crushing.  Work and the inevitable failures that come with can break your spirit, grind it to dust against your soul and sit idly as it disappointment and frustration sweep it away.  And we know that. So we avoid it…and what it might bring.

I fear too few make that transition.  I fear that I’m afraid to.  At some point, you have to declare yourself whatever it is you wish to become.  Then you do it…poorly.  Maybe you get better, maybe you don’t, but I’ve come to learn that it’s the work that matters more than anything.  Getting what you want is great, but being prepared to handle it once you have it is more important. I’m just talking.
