Two Paths To Take But What Is The Right One
Life is a journey that is full of different paths to take. Just like many other people out there I have taken the wrong direction more times than I care to remember. But in saying that I have also taken the right road on many occasions. Perhaps it is sometimes easier to remember the mistakes as opposed to the successes in life.
If only I could jump in my Tardis like telephone box that I love to travel around London in and turn back time. Oh how much better life would be if I had a second shot at certain choices that I made and got horrible wrong. Like that time I bet a small fortune on Marvellous Marvin Hagler to knock out Sugar Ray Leonard. Or more seriously some of those crazy business enterprises and relationships that I have been involved in, where everything went horrible wrong and I ended up broke, disillusioned and back to square one again.
However in saying that who’s to say that I or anybody else would make a better job of sorting out life’s mistakes second time around. Sometimes in life we have to make mistakes and use them as an experience that can be learned from in order to move forward. I suppose the trick is to pay attention to how and why things went wrong.
If only that crystal ball sitting in front of me would work properly I would never make another one of those mistakes that are so fucking painful. However life doesn’t work like that and if there is anybody out there that hasn’t made a mistake I have yet to meet them. In real life we all make mistakes, that’s just the way it is.
I think the key to happiness and success, or quite possible to life itself is not to push all those painful failures into that great black hole in the sky and forget all about them. If you delete them from your memory, what’s to stop them happening time and time again. If you can remember your mistakes and where you went wrong, maybe the next time you have two paths to take you will be in a better position to figure out, which one to take.
Do you ever feel that life is so fucking unfair, that things are never quite going the right way for you and of course everything that goes wrong is someone else’s fault. Of course it is. Maybe the answer is all about taking a different path for a change. Instead of taking that well trodden path that you have been walking along for too many years, why not take that path that is not quite so easy to travel along. You know the path that is full of big boulders, quicksand and dangerous creatures. Honestly I wasn’t referring to that Jamaican girl I used to know in Camberwell. Or perhaps I was!
Fucking hell this mythical path to a better life that I’m seeking, I cant even find the start of the dam thing. I suppose I better look a wee bit harder. I know it’s out there somewhere and anyway who said self-improvement was an easy thing…..
