The 1665 Steps

Step six…..settling. Well, get comfy, we are going to be here for a while. This is the dreaded topic that most people fear. Most ask themselves at some point in their life, did I settle? Does anyone ever answer themselves, yes, I did and then go on living with all of their passion? If someone does say yes, do they suddenly upend their life and ultimately shift their trajectory and still maintain all of their “faces” or do they suddenly need to have new ones? Is the thought of starting over so daunting that no one really wants to answer the question out of the “fear of the unknown”? How many people live their lives never answering aloud but ultimately knowing the answer?

Step five ... .passion. We are told to have passion in our work, passion in our love lives, and passion in our hearts. Wait, what?

And what do we receive from this passion? Dividends? Extra hours of sleep?

What makes a family? Our guest, Autumn, and our host spend a “class” discussing traditional viewpoints on family situations.

How do we ever know if the journey we are on is the correct one? After almost 48 years on this planet, I have yet to determine which cliche applies best.  Is it a lesson or a blessing? What is the silver lining? Am I on the journey alone? And lastly, will the journey ever be complete? Do I have to be dead to actually just know that I lived?
