Paradox
“The problem comes when we put our happiness on hold as we wait for some future event—our golden ticket—to appear.”
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
…
Proactive and patient
How can I be both?
Comfortably complacent?
That’s toxic to my growth
…
But still, don’t jump ahead
It’s clear I’m not quite ready
The old cliche is true (to win the)
Race, be slow and steady
…
I want my dreams today, though!
And therein lies the problem
These mountains of delay (obscures my)
Tangible, true progress
…
I know I must choose hope (not put my)
Happiness on hold
Got more to learn, I guess
As I toil on toward my goals
…
It’s not easy (never has been)
As I fight the war inside
But there’s a chance I’ll make it
All I can do is try
…
“I’m in the war of my life. Got no choice but to fight, so fight on.”
-John Mayer
