Oh to be young again. You know we really don't know how good you have it until you get older. They always say hindsight is 20/20, not sure if truer words have ever been spoken. The one reoccuring theme I think a loathe the most about adulthood is the incessant need to sacrifice.
Gone are the days of childlike innocence where one would dream big and have huge unrealistic expectations only to get to adulthood and be told you can't have it all.
Life is constantly about choices, no one can have everything they want, when they want it. Everyday is a constant analysis of pros and cons: from the simple things like what one is able to accomplish in a day versus what one has to forego to big things like foregoing one's pipe dreams for the more conservative ones that provide more stability for you and your children.
Regardless of the choices one faces in life sacrifice is a necessary evil that everyone must endure. As opposed to focusing on what one has to give up, learn to appreciate the journey because the sacrifices one makes help to mold who you are. God doesn't make mistakes, and whatever your path is supposed to be is what will happen. The overall lesson in sacrifice, at least in the ones I've reflected on lately, is acceptance and appreciation for the blessings around you since nothing is as I expected, still there's no other place I'd rather be than where I am at this moment.
Well maybe Jamaica, definitely wouldn't mind being in Jamaica right now as opposed to work, LOL.
