Looking Back

It's funny, when I look back on those times in my past when I threw my self into a tough situation and had to fight tooth and nail to get out of it, I look back with pride and am glad I did it, no matter how miserable I was.

Which is not to say that you should constantly be making yourself miserable in order to get further along in life. Sitting back and enjoying yourself is fundamental. I just think I might be happier in the future if I can say that I took some risks, that I was miserable at points, but that at least I tried and didn't let life pass me by, regardless of what I've accomplished in the end. Even if I am successful and rich, I don't think the success and riches are going to be what makes me happy, rather it is going to be what I accomplished, how I did it, and all the interesting people I met along the way (yea I know, it's cheesy).
