Use Your Heart......

I have always had a problem with waiting. It has never been my strong suit. Though Taurus the Bull (my sign) is practical, steadfast, unchanging, and PATIENT, I never understood how I could be so patient yet HATE WAITING. Then when I took the time to really break this down in my head I realized that I want what I want, when I want it, but I am steadfast enough to slow walk it down until it becomes mine...no matter how long it takes. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who shall remain nameless and she tells me that when the time is right, she will pursue the things that she wants in life. I argue with her (cause that's what I do best) but I argue the point that Everytime is the right time when it is something that you are passionate about. I refuse to sit around and simply wait because I truly feel that the Lord places certain aspirations in your heart and then he gives you the ability to make those things into a reality. We may not always hear or see a sign, but we will be filled with enough courage to pursue the object of our happiness. Now I am not saying patience is a bad thing, not by any means, sometimes it is best to sit back and absorb a situation before jumping in....it's just smarter, but if you wait too long your window could close before you were able to take the leap of faith. During this conversation she asked me about a certain someone that I have a particular eye on and asked how it was going. I explained to her that this person seems to be someone that I could actually see myself loving for a lifetime because of his genuine personality (those that know me know that I am allergic to Fake) anyway, in response she tells me that's good, but in the same breath she warns me to be cautious. SMH, you know I had to break this one down...... Caution: a. Careful forethought to avoid danger or harm. b. Close attention or vigilance to minimize risk: My response: If I went through my entire life in fear of what could happen or may happen then I would have lived my entire life wrapped in caution tape and I would not have as many experiences under my belt. In response to this she says....well be careful not to make any of the same past mistakes. Mistakes or errors are avoidable occurances wherein a person unintentionally does something that causes an unfortunate result. My Response: I have NEVER made a mistake in my personal life, because to say I made a mistake would imply that my situations were avoidable....no situation is avoidable if it is part of your life plan. It is what it is. I call them life lessons, bits of information to learn from so that I can steady and ready myself for that Mr. Wonderful. It so happens that my hope to be "Mr. Wonderful" lies under a sun sign that tells me that he is life and marriage material. (yes, I checked out this brotha's astrological sign) I cheese at this ideal because just from 4 hours of phone conversation I realize that even down to the smallest detail of birthday cake icing that we see eye to eye. I find peace and comfort in knowing this, though I am not sure where it will go from this point, I can rest easy just knowing that I gave it my best effort; because if I didn't I would have to live the rest of my life with shoulda coulda wouldas. I also realized that anyone that can get me to belly laugh the way he did is sure worthy of my Patience. So I guess the point of my rambling today is to simply point out (strictly from my POV) that sometimes you have to seize life, grab it by the horns, and don't live in fearful caution of making mistakes because there are no mistakes just bundles of lessons and living in fear is just lonely as hell!!! USE YOUR HEART...let it lead you in the way you should go...after all that is where the Lord dwells...right? Whoo!! I sure hope this Scorpio is up for the challenge.....hahaha Peace, The Realist P.S. if you click on the title of this post it will take you to the song that inspired the title.
