Decision and more...

As life continues to propel us forward, we are bound to have to face decisions.  These decisions can vary from person to person and be as vast as the ocean.  One of the most vital decisions is how we lead our lives: Floater or Learner?

I believe that these are two broad categories that we all fall into in some form or fashion.  The Floater is a person who moves through life with ease, no real drive as things are handed to them or comes easily to them.  Goals are attainable and obstacles are few.  The individuals seemingly have little problems socially or academically.  The Learner, however, is driven by their past experiences to continuously look to better themselves.  These are people who constantly seem to face obstacles and have the need to renew the resolve in facing the world.  These are people who seem overly ambitious and have that intellectual flame, a never quenchable thirst for knowledge.

You may be asking yourself, "I don't fall into either one.  There are both very extreme categories."  Now, now, don't get your feathers ruffled.  You may not fall in one category or the other, but rather a combination of the two.  That is a possibility as well.  You may find, after further reflection, that you began in one category and then changed to another category.  We are not static in life and we are constantly shifting and changing.

The reason I bring this up?  Our decisions are ours alone.  No matter what category you fall into, you are not bound to that by life.  You can change your path if you so choose to seek that change.  Only you have the power of your Life path in your hands.
