Nothing all that “Great” in life comes from being practical. This is not to say it doesn’t serve a very important purpose in guiding our lives. Obviously it does (particularly at places like Costco). But quite possibly, we make the biggest mistakes in the name of practicality and what seems most “Sensible” or “Right” versus what is “True.” Life is a difficult language to speak. Life is a difficult code to decipher.
I would argue that the greatest things in life come from Passion and Desire; and of course the most tragic as well. But to ignore Passion and Desire, to avoid the effort of a fight, or fear failure, is to turn your back on Potential Greatness.
However, there is a fine line between following your heart and being foolish. Maybe Faith determines where you fall; maybe Courage and a lot of hard work. Maybe it is all three, and then a million other Life factors; a complex, yet beautiful equation to which we must assign meaning.
Some of us walk away from the things worth fighting for most in life. Then we spend our whole lives fighting for many things that do not matter much. Our inner vision, our perception blurs, and knowing what is worth fighting for isn’t crystal clear. Like using your eyes to see; we are undeniably lacking clarity. Especially where the heart is concerned; “Love can sometimes be magic, but magic can sometimes be an illusion…..”
So what is the answer? I am not sure there are any answers. There are just choices and decisions, and the life you live as a result. As long as you are happy and fulfilled with that life, then that is all that really matters.
“Nobody said it was easy, but no one ever said it would be this hard…..”
