quarter life update

A solution to the quarter life crisis is still in motion...if you are unfamiliar with this crisis please refer to the quadra-pod. I have done a lot of "me" searching this summer and have done a lot of pleasure reading...yes, it does happen...hence the following entry.

A long time ago, a LB suggested that I read "The Alchemist"--but I thought to myself, how can such a small book contain such a great message? After reading, it is not that I was not aware of all of the propecies and philosophies about life that this book tells of, but sometimes it takes many people and may different ways to realize the main message.

Words of wisdom for Jill, remember these they are important:

Don't be afraid of success or love or danger or life, learn to listen to your heart carefully, it will lead the way on all of your many adventures. Try to recapture that feeling from when you were young and invicible...use it to attain your dreams...even if they change daily...every change ultimately leads to the same place...happiness and love.

As I sit and read what I just wrote it sounds so corny and unrealistic in this fast paced world that we live in. Even if the world has evolved into fast and unforgiving the ultimate underlying principles should be the same, right? Does everyone have this lost or not quite on kilter feeling every once in a while?

Goals written for self: think before you jump, not because it will hurt but because it might be the wrong direction...fight for your dreams and success...remember that everything happens for a reason...and above all, listen to your heart.
