Gusto

Everyone wants to be good at something.

Unfortunately some of us pick that something before we are old enough, or wise enough, to know what is really important.

Parents at Eighteen. Junkies at twenty. The funniest guy at the bar. The class clown. The fastest car on the road. The loudest motorcycle around. Even the most beautiful body in town.

All of these things and many others can seem like the ultimate goal at some point. Then time passes and the novelty wears off and we are stuck with a name tag that no longer lifts us up. It feels as hollow as it always really was.

The good news is that you can pick again - - and again and again and again. No one ever set a limit on reinventing yourself.

Edit out all the negative words (and people) then regroup, figure out how to begin your new adventure, and go forward with all the gusto you've got. Allow yourself to be fueled by the experiences, the knowledge and the love you have.
