When people show you who they are….believe them ~Maya Angelou
I’ve always fallen for potential. I see the boundless possibilities and celebrate the promise in the people and situations around me. At 33, it’s taken me a long time to realize that what you see…is probably what you get. Why was this so difficult a lesson? Potential hasn’t happened yet . Love can only happen in the present. These are things I should know by now, lessons I should have learned. Yet nomatter how many dissapointments I face, my Pollyanna syndrome persists. I don’t want to give up my optimism but I’m working to make decisions with my feet on the ground.
Once a day, we should ask ourselves “If this is all there is, is it good enough?” If the answer is no, we have some work to do because there is no better time than now to be happy.
