In the age of technology, we are able to answer questions simply by saying, “Hey, Siri…” or “Hey, Google…” If that didn’t suffice, you could put in some real work, and go the lengths of typing the question up and finding the answer yourself with the use of the internet. The truth is, this has affected how we seek out answers to more personal questions. We rely on others to avoid making the decision ourselves.
Siri or google can't make the right decision for us on questions like, “Should I go to college or right into the workforce?” or “Should I stay in this comfortable job or take a risk and start my own business?” However, we all too often can get caught in the habit of trying to find someone to tell us what decision to make. When decisions are hard, of course it’s easier to have someone else tell you what to do. I had to learn a great deal of patience when the answers I wanted weren’t readily available to me. Amidst my own stress and confusion, I decided to write. The more I wrote, the more clarity and peace I found…
Humans want answers and they want answers fast
But if we don't learn patience our happiness surely won’t last
I have no doubt there is purpose in why we meet who we meet
The challenge is to understand and learn how to greet.
Don’t jump to conclusions and assume.
Listen. Until passion consumes.
We are creatures of nature it’s true; it’s hard to change an old narrative into something new.
I know we should value our history but it's so hard to live blissfully in knowing
there is so much we need to unlearn.
So we can trust and communicate without concern.
We don’t want to feel that vulnerability, the naked truth about ourselves without the
ability to apply a filter, or caption about connectivity, despite the captivity
we remain in our own minds. But it’s cool. We say, “I’m fine.”
You see humans want answers and they want answers fast.
If your vibe attracts your tribe, pay attention.
There are people who need to say bye. Pay attention to who is
around you in this very moment. Let me present this lil bestowment.
Is it family? Friends? Strangers? Someone you just met?
Be present. Forget about any upset, and I’ll bet, you’ll realize you are never
really alone. We all go through this life like we need to figure it out on our own.
Or we ignore the upset and store it away for another day and
never realize the pain we never process comes up in other ways.
Stop asking why is this happening to me and promise yourself that
you’ll be the best you, for you, that you can be.
I know the reason may seem unclear at best.
Just know life will unveil truths to put your mind at rest.
So take it day by day and be kind in the words you say.
Help each other learn it’s okay to convey, “Hey, I’ve had a bad day,” “There’s nothing wrong with being gay,” or “I’m still finding my way.”
Our stories our different for a reason. We simply need to connect and learn the meaning.
Humans want answers and we want answers fast. If we don’t learn patience our happiness surely won’t last. But it could.
Let’s start small and just share a laugh, with someone completely new, before the moment pasts.
