Life

Life is fast, allowing little time for contemplation or even thoughtful consideration.  Even when things appear to be going smoothly (or at least there aren't a lot of bumps) one more thing may come flying at you that can make everything seem overwhelming.  

That's not exactly where I am right now but it's approaching that tipping point.  For the most part, my life (and I) are moving smoothly along but, occasionally, something happens that causes introspection and self-doubt.  At those times I've found the best thing I can do is simply move forward one step at a time . . .acknowledging the doubt and pain but realizing that I am the master of my fate (at least I like to think so!) and I alone can make myself happy.  

"This above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day thou canst not then be false to any man."
