Life changing epiphany

Yesterday was about one of the worst days I have had on top of all my other worst days. I have been having a lot of those days as of late. The evening was amazing though. I didn't do anything out of the norm too much. I spent the evening up at the dorms on campus a bit with friends listened to a nerd war occurring on the computers. Not very entertaining but better then just me sitting by myself in a self loathing state. Pathetic I know  but we are all entitled to  our moments of weakness mine was just an explosion of weakness. The only other thing i did was go bowling and had some McDonald's. 

During bowling I was trying not to focus on problems so naturally people watching became my focus. Their was a few groups surrounding us. The couple or date next to us intrigued me the most. The guy was acting like a total tool trying to impress the girl with his bowling skills. The girl on the other hand was acting like a nerd. The thing i noticed though was though they were acting out of the norm both of them had huge smiles slapped across their faces.This was the moment that I realized my way of thinking was hindering in my journey for happiness.

Life is always going to take you down a path that is unfavorable. You still have control of where you end up in life by the choices you make but what you don't have control over is the situations you are presented with  to  get there. I hope that makes sense to you. The ultimate epiphany i had though is that yes i need to have goals in life and i do have them many of them. Instead of only looking to those goals i need to start living in the present to make them occur. For my entire life i have had dreams beyond dreams of what i want out of life. I have always just lived in my dreams never really experiencing what is going on around me  just always looking forward. I as well as some of you out there need to live in today, moment by moment. Keep your goals and dreams in mind but do not let them block out the view that is standing right in front of you. From where i'm standing my view is slightly spectacular with a nice sunrise cresting the tops of the mountains ahead.
