i don't want to be this person. guess i better work at that.
"Allow me a small break. Like those people with idle minds who entertain themselves with daydreams when they are out for a walk on their own. People like this, I believe, don't bother to find out how something they want can happen. That's something they forget about, to save themselves the trouble of thinking about what is feasible or otherwise. They assume that what they want can be had easily, and go straight on to planning the future, and enjoying the rehearsal of the things they are going to do once they have got what they want, so making an already lazy mind even lazier." - The Republic

Granted, it is important to really think about what it is you want and if you really want it before going to the trouble of getting it. For example- I wanted a dog, but really needed to think of all the ramifications of having a dog before going out and getting one- which we did, and is working out swimmingly! :)
But yes, few things rarely just happen, I will agree with him on that.
Ooh, that's me too. :( I'm such a daydreamer. And so lazy.
I need to stop reading your convicting posts. ;)
aren't they annoying?
Yes. Stop posting them. :P Or at least put a disclaimer up, something like "Don't read this, Chelleybutton." Of course, that'll probably just make me want to read them more...
i'm such an idea person...and so not a doer. it's frustrating.
