Face Forward by Larry John
What is it we are trying to escape? Face it. We are all trying to escape LIFE in one way or another. We may choose alcohol, overeating, excessive sleep, sex, drugs, pornography, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy or literally thousands of other vices to escape this thing we call “everyday life.” These vices make it possible to alter our reality as we run away from the world, our jobs, our families, and maybe even ourselves. Is life so bad that we must slow it down, speed it up, shut it out, weird it out, spin it around, and forget it all together? Do you sometimes feel your life is going nowhere? Did John and Paul have it right…I am a “real nowhere man, living in my nowhere land, making all my nowhere plans, for nobody?” Well Nowhere is NOT a destination in life! It’s time to open our minds to greater possibilities and find exciting challenges in life and run TO them … not away from them. It’s better to face your life’s challenges head on and prepared than to have them catch you from behind while you’re trying to run away. |
