So this post is gonna be primarily focused on a friend of mine.
This person recently took a survey and found out that their personality truly does encompass actions like being late and trying to avoid organization.
However if you've ever met this friend of mine you'd understand that's just the way they are. One thing that I've come to understand is that their longing towards more spontaneity is definitely something worthwhile. Too much of our lives is structured, we plan out so many activities and don't leave time in for perhaps more precious and valuable things. That leads us to the question on what is important in our own lives?
Right now I'd have to say relationships are. Foremost with the Lord and with that all other relationships fall into place.
Now back to the main topic. Just tonight I passed my friend just standing and contemplating something. I really wish I hadn't a prior commitment because I really wanted to ask them what they were pondering about. I mean I then asked later what they'd been thinking about. The reply was short and simple: Life :-).
It's those moments that I wish I could talk to people and hold a meaningful conversation with them.
I definitely don't have everything figured out and never truly will. But some things I have definitely come to embrace this year is to take every day one small task at a time, value time spent with those around you, and now I'm being reminded that though organization can be helpful and good, spontaneity and less structure can also be just as good to one's own life :-)
