That mountain you had to climb, that ocean you had to cross...it took work. It took determination, guts, and energy you didn't think you had. But when you got there, it was the greatest accomplishment.
We live in a 'fast food' society. We want and we expect instant gratification. After one day of clean eating and a sweaty workout, I expect my reflection in the mirror to be that of an Angel crafted by Victoria herself. We secure a position in the work place and fully anticipate that our talents will be identified immediately and we will be promoted instantaneously. We have love interests that disappoint us when they have not displayed the most romantic gesture. We have a insatiable void. We want instant gratification.
Newsflash: it ain't guna happen.
If you were not already aware, the good stuff, the stuff fishing stories, movies, books, and LIVES are made of.... Take work. Blood, sweat, and tears.
I am sorry... But it is true.
Are you happy? Why? Why not? What are you willing to do to get there or maintain it?
If it were handed to you on a silver platter would it be as precious? If you had to make some tough decisions, reschedule your time, shuffle your finances, give up some comforts to attain something new, something better, something hard... Would it feel like an accomplishment worth celebrating when you achieved it?
.
DAMN RIGHT IT WOULD.
I don't know what you want. Only you do. As far as I know, we only get one kick at the can.
Kick.
Hard.
Tell your fishing story.
Stay happy and healthy
