to be or not to be. That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind, to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, whether to flow with the tide or to swim for a goal. Any decision you've ever made, which had a bearing on your future was nothing but a choice between these two things. The floating or the swimming problem is that we seek to understand the goal and not the person. See, we do not strive to be fireman. We do not strive to be bankers, nor policeman, nor doctors. We strive to be ourselves. So beware of looking for goals. Look for a way of life. Instead, the goal is secondary. It is the functioning towards the goal which is important. Decide a way of life you will enjoy to live and then see what you can do. Within that way, those who procrastinate in their choosing will inevitably have their choices made for them by the circumstance. And that means to give up one of the most meaningful aspects of life. The act of will, which makes a person an individual. I'm not trying to send you out on the road in search of Valhalla, but merely pointing out that it is not necessary to accept the choices handed down to you by life as you know it. So what will you be floating or swimming, floating or swimming? Floating more swimming?
