Roads are a series of zig-zags. Depending on how you zig and then zag, the results will indicate if you made the correct decision.
Traveling in one place and on a straight path to our destination sounds ideal. No one wants heartache and hardships to define their life. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I suppose that is what people say.
But alas, life will throw us a curveball, which will create friction and cause us to zig-zag and end up in a different location.
I hoped one of the moves would lead me to add something good and beneficial to my daily life. Sometimes, I think I have earned, even deserved, good fortune. I'm a good guy. Can't I zig-zag into the lottery win? I ought to play the lotto to test my theory.
When pain and suffering are thrown at me, I have navigated through that zig-zag dilemma through hardship and growth. I even started this blog and threw all my emotions into the world. Did I ever imagine anyone would care? After all, everyone has their own story of ups and downs, good times and bad times; shouldn't they zig-zag into a lottery win?
I am curious to know how luck finds some people. Did they zig zag at all? Is there a future price to pay for his or her success? Was their work ethic better than mine? So many questions and not enough answers. This blog definitely involves too much overthinking on my behalf.
I can tell you I get tired of building, but I don't want to stop growing. I enjoy my job but want more free time to do what I want. I'd like to travel more but enjoy the comfort of home. I want to do less, but I'm motivated to do more. I like money and wish to earn more. I like that path I travel, but I don't mind if I zig-zag in another direction.
Levels of growth. Paths to travel. High roads to take. Decisions to make. Experiences that enhanced my travels. These things have meant everything to me, and I understand my issues mean little to many others with problems. I also can't expect perfect strangers who read my blog to care about my road to perdition. But maybe with some understanding of me, the reader will understand how every day our travels can be. Hopefully, you can empathize more about my personal zig-zags throughout my life and another person's life while understanding that most of us endure the same everyday problems. Then, we can use each experience as a teaching tool to learn how difficult it has been to solve a problem. I may not be rich, but most of us are not. I can tell you that some paths traveled are worn because there is more that binds us together than that which divides us.
My path in life has had a lifetime of taking off in different directions. I may not have been born rich. Or bred from birth to be idolized and have money thrown at me for starting a trend. Those worlds are what I would consider to be la la land. Dining with the rich and famous may not be possible in the future. A book deal probably isn't close at hand. But we should be grateful that our personal zig zags have extended our travels to be here because, regardless of status, these roads will eventually be zig-zagging without us.
