A year ago, when I graduated, I crested a sort of hill in life. For one year I have been standing on top of that hill pondering the landscape in front of me. I can’t see my own path. Not very far at least. But I can see some of what might come ahead. Hills, valleys, obstacles. I came to this realization today, whilst at the top of a less metaphorical hill. Now I know I’m ready to head down the other side. I’ve done a fair bit of contemplating, planning, and second-guessing. Probably more than I should have. I’m ready to dive in and see where this path takes me. Without this vantage point I will have to make decisions on a more immediate basis. Smaller, day-to-day kinds of things. My rule of thumb will be this: If I ever find myself making excuses for why I shouldn’t or can’t take a certain fork in the road, I know it is the correct fork to take.
