POSSIBILITIES        TONY SCARPA

CHANGE IS COMING

YOU CAN FEEL IT,

 SOMETHING, CALL IT INTUITION OR JUST A KNOWING THAT YOU SENSE. OR MAYBE EVEN STRONGER LIKE A PUNCH TO YOUR GUT!

 

JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE, AT ONE POINT IN OUR LIVES WE ALL STAND AT THAT FORK IN THE ROAD. 

 

INSTINCTIVELY WE KNOW THE ROAD ENDS AT THE SAME PLACE, 

BUT IT IS IN THE JOURNEY THAT MAKES IT WORTH THE TRIP, A PEACEFUL STROLL, OR A HACKING AND CHOPPING THROUGH DENSE UNDERGROWTH, GRUNTING AND SWEATING EVERY INCH.

 

THE CHOICE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BEEN YOURS- ALTHOUGH I WOULD DOUBT THAT MANY OF YOU ALL BELIEVE THAT.

 

UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU CAN CHANGE THE PATH THAT YOUR LIFE IS HEADED, BY SIMPLY CHANGING DIRECTION SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

 

IN TODAYS WORLD WHERE THEY SAY TAKE THIS PILL AND IT WILL-

CALM YOU DOWN

OR GIVE YOU ENERGY

 

WE HAVE BECOME SO IN TUNE WITH INSTANT GRATIFICATION THAT WE WANT EVERYTHING TO BE AS EASY AS TAKING THAT PILL.

 

WELL CHANGING YOUR PATH IN LIFE IS NOT THAT SIMPLE, IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO ACTUALLY DO A FEW THINGS....

  MANY OF US HATE TO DO,

- SLOW DOWN

-TAKE A DEEP BREATH

-ACTUALLY, THINK

-AND LOOK AT WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN AND WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

- EXCELLENT TIME TO BLAME SOMEONE ELSE

- "WELL SHE MADE ME!"

- "HE FORCED ME!"

AND MY ALL TIME FAVORITE-

"WELL IF THINGS HAD BEEN DIFFERENT!" 

LOVE THAT ONE.

IF THINGS HAD BEEN DIFFERENT NO ONE WOULD BE THE PERSON THEY ARE RIGHT NOW, GOOD, BAD OR JUST GETTING BY.

 

TIME TO PUT OUR BIG GIRL AND BOY PANTS ON AND TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR LIVES.

 

THE FACT THAT YOU ARE READING THIS HAS PLACED THAT OPPORTUNITY WITHING YOUR GRASP.

MY PURPOSE IS NOT TO BORE YOU, LECTURE YOU WITH IDEAS THAT ARE FLAT AND ONE DIMENSIONAL,

 

OR BEAT YOU WITH TASKS THAT ARE DIFFICULT. BUT TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE KNOWLEDGE I HAVE LEARNED THUS FAR ON MY OWN JOURNEY.

 

THROW IN SOME OF THE FLAVOR OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, AS WELL AS MY OWN FOIBLES, PLACES WHERE I TRIPPED OVER THE NOTHING, THAT INVISIBLE BUMP IN THE CARPET OF LIFE.
