Rainbows, butterflies and compromise

If life was all rainbows and butterflies it'd be great...but life can suck major ass at times and it's in those moments when a person needs to work the hardest...what is a life of rainbows and butterflies? It means a good or great life but while life may be good currently it might not always be; a human life is filled with twists and turns and often comes with unpleasantness along the way, quite often when a person least expects it.

Speaking personally, I'm happy to say I've created some tremendously successful moments and have some amazing things in my life but the opposite is also true; I've had some of the most terrible things occur and somewhere in the middle has been the rest of my life which, again I'm pleased to say, has been largely good, acceptable and sometimes even splendid. I think it'd be pretty sad should a person not be able to find something to celebrate or be happy with in their life; it's those little things that inspire one to seek more, or so it is with me.

For most of us life is a compromise, a balance between good and bad, happy and sad, positive and negative, success and failure...whatever way you look at it life is balance, a compromise. It'll not be all bad or all good however dwelling on one or the other won't move it forward in any better way I think; one must seek to improve, to make improvements, not sit back and do nothing.

I've spent a lot of my life seeking to continually improve the life I have and myself personally and have had success, and failure, along the way. I've taken little moments to celebrate wins and to think about, wallow in, the losses but standing in place and not moving forward from either isn't going to get me anywhere and because my life is ahead of me, forward is the way I want to be moving...while enjoying the present of course.

I've compromised in life, done this when I wanted to do that, held back when every fibre of my being says otherwise and other such things, most probably have done the same, but there's some compromises that should never be made, life is too short to allow that to happen. Do you feel time (and your life) is moving too fast? Yep, that's because it is. So, there's never a better time than now (I mean in the present moment) to think about how best to move forward, where one wants to go with life, and to actually take the steps to make it happen...that should never be compromised.

Do you have any thoughts on the topic? If you've got something to add or comment on please go ahead, there's no obligation though, I'd not want you to compromise your own life by doing something that won't add value to it.
