Funny How Life Changes

On a daily basis our life changes. One minute we are thinking and doing one thing and then all of a sudden we are doing something different. I call it the "roller coaster"... How many times have we sat there and made all these plans and gotten all our stuff together and BAM!! it all changes.. It may be a job, a relationship, going back to school, trying to make it in the music business, buying something new, etc.. We make all these plans and for what!!! It's funny how sometimes we try and look at the "end result".. We fantasize on it, we imagine how happy we are going to be, we can literally see ourselves in that new change.. Then all of a sudden something or someone burst that bubble... The hardest part is trying to figure out why?? Why did it have to change?? Why aren't I as happy as I was?? What is life trying to tell me??? What did I do wrong??? All these questions are hard to answer at that point in time.. We need to let go and see the bigger picture.. It's hard sometimes to see the bigger picture, because we had our heart set on something else.

My best friend is an awesome singer... He has trained classically and when he sings, your feel the passion and emotion.. Enough to say that you get goosebumps... I have had the pleasure of seeing him sing live.. I tell you that I have never heard anything like it... His life has drastically changed in many ways.. Sometimes, you have to go thru a lot in order to get to what your future is going to bring you.. It's hard to accept that life throws you curve balls, it tests you, it brings you to your knees, and make you feel like you are the most insignificant person out there.. Aside from all of that, he continues to persevere and push forward.. No matter what... It's so impressive and I'm so proud of him to keep trying.. I know that when life has given him lemons; he has made great lemonade...

Life has changed for a lot of us.. We are different because life has made us different.. We view things differently, we are more cautious than others.. I hear people say, "throw caution to the wind"!!! We would love nothing more.. We all have big plans, goals, and things that we want to achieve.. When life changes and it's not what you had visioned or planned, just try to rise above it and look at the bigger picture.. No matter how hard that may be.. If not, we become stagnated and that isn't the way life should be lived..
