I Wanna Get Off This Ride

Lately my life has felt like a rollercoaster; a constant up and down making it hard to get my barings. I try to look at change in a positive way, but sometimes it just plain sucks! A friend of mine told me that life is like a mountain; you keep going round and round until you reach the top. So even though it feels like you keep coming back to the same spot you are actually gaining ground. I know she's right, but some days I just wanna give up on the notion because I'm tired of going in circles.

I read in a book by Deepak Chopra that you are drawn to people that reflect your self-image. I admit I had a hard time grasping that. I couldn't understand that I would be drawn to people that treat me poorly and take my friendship for granted, but then it dawned on me; maybe it's the other way around. Maybe it's those people who are drawn to me; to my light and love and laughter. And then it made sense. I feel that it's part of my divine plan to be a guiding light for others, like a light tower; glowing off in the distance, constant, and easily taken for granted. I need to stop waiting for people to come into shore and just let the current take them where it may know that whether or not they knew it I made a difference on their journey.

I know this is just a dip and the ride will continue upward again and I'll be happy, but for right now I shed a tear to those I've lost and send the intention for a brighter tomorrow!
