A Families Journey of Life & Love

Somebody shoot me

February 20, 2006 by Stephen Pasquini

It has been an interesting week to say the least, I have spent the last few days contemplating what pride truly is. And then comes the next great question, do we stand up for our pride because we are worth more than someone elses opinion that is based on ignorance and stupidity, or do we swallow our pride in remembrance that many of those who govern many aspects of our life can ruin the world if we let them. Although none of this is making any sense as I type I just want to say this. I have realized it comes down to a very simple thing, we must look at ourselves and our lives and answer a couple very simple questions, number one am I happy, number two what goals do I have that I have not achieved and am I on my way to achieving those and number three is it worth it. In reviewing these very basic, yet obviously important questions I have answered them this way. To number one yes, of course on the happiness scale I figure this is constantly only a factor of how we make it out to be, therefore no matter what the life circumstances are happiness is dictated by how we view the circumstances more then what they actually are. Number two, life goals are many but for me they come down to one simple thing, to serve my maker the best way I can which for me comes down to two basic principles, figuring out what my God needs and then what maybe he would want from me……. Still in constant debate. This brings me to the last question is it worth it……………….. Maybe tomorrows blog will have the answer to this one!!!

    Interesting questions. In my case it is.

    Am I happy. Yes – Can’t say why, but I’m happy. You and Jennifer make me happy. Having a new home makes me happy.

    What goals do I have: I have a number, most related to writing and I have been lagging on this. The ironic thing is that I was going to tutor two students who only showed up 1 time out of six. It seemed a waste of time, but in the process I’d decided to have them read my stories because I realized it was the type of thing they might enjoy reading. It made me think I have made a good start and with some revision might publish a book of short stories.

    Is it all worth it? Well, who’s to say. I guess that’s a value judgement we put on things ourselves. The one thing I know is that as I get older, I’ve grown to value life more and believe it is worth it if you’ve done something to make the world a better place for all of us.
