lifeless pursuit

its so easy to get caught up in this pursuit of life, love, and happiness. its because a lot of times it seems like and looks like we've found these things. but then unfortunately reality hits us and we realize that we're nowhere near truth and love and life and everything else. so we press on, don't we? i think we forget at times to take a little time out and enjoy the things around us. we become so accustomed to accumulating things, striving for things, setting goals for ourselves! because that's what we're supposed to do, right? to an extent i suppose. but then why are you so lost? why does it feel like there is little to no direction in your life and that maybe life is at a standstill. or maybe you are at a crossroad with a few different options. take one? which one? this is what happens ALL THE TIME. we get so caught up with life that we forget to live. we are always looking at the destination. we gotta work until we can afford THIS. go to school to get THIS. get a promotion so i can be THIS. AH WHAT VANITY. who trained us to act like this? how did we possibly get spoofed into believing that this is all there is to life? where did the enjoyment go? the good company of friends? the mindset that ALL THERE IS is the PRESENT. living in the moment. not reaching so badly for that destination, but simply taking pride and joy - even excitement and eagerness in the JOURNEY. 

don't give up on dreams. but stop chasing them like they are all that you have or will ever have, because when all is said and done you are right now. you have right now and im prayin that sooner or later you being to realize.. that it's in the journey.
