The other day while having my daily session of sitting back and thinking about absolute nonsense a thought threw itself directly into my walkway and I went stumbling into a thorn bush of epiphanies. At that moment I was epiphanising...also I decided to make up a new, although unnecessary, word for it.
Epihanising is when two or more epiphanies collide to create a bigger and better epiphany.
Anyway, I've been going through that time in life that every young adult eventually goes through. I was trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to do with my life. The problem in my case was not that I didn't have options to choose from but rather I was scared of choosing the wrong one. I've seen way too many movies where the lead character is suddenly 50 years old and they realize that they hate their life. So my problem was I didn't want to pick the wrong career and suddenly realize I've wasted my life doing the wrong thing.
Then like wet frog jumping on my face while in the shower, it hit me. If you spend your life looking for perfect all the time you often miss out on a whole host of good things. Often what you need to do is take that good situation and nurture it with the same love and care that you would have given to that supposed perfect scenario. In time your good situation will become your perfect scenario. This isn't only for working situations but all situations of life. I'm not saying you shouldn't want the best but what I am saying is don't be so tirelessly consumed by finding the best that you miss out on everything good.
Make the best out of a good situation
