Someone recently told me to work on one part of myself at a time

Wise advice

Except I didn't choose to start addressing all aspects of self - it just happened

~ ~ ~

I've been told to choose a goal

something to work towards

and yet I think of setting out on my motorcycle with no destination in mind

and just follow where my heart leads 

and I find those days offer the greatest adventures

It may not be the fastest or straightest path there but the most exciting

Because of all the things encountered on the journey

So goal or no goal - perhaps it's a combination of the two?

But that said

I waste the most fuel by taking the scenic route on that journey

And perhaps I expend the most energy by not choosing one goal to work towards

~ ~ ~

 All my life I've felt invisible

Until meeting others who felt the same way and finding myself suddenly visible

And in my excitement I became too visible

So I now retreat and come back home to My Quest

to consult my travel maps once again

~ ~ ~

So just random thoughts

as I throw open the windows in My Quest

seems I've been gone a while

and it's become a bit stuffy in here

and destroying your design." ~Oprah
