Life is like a...Pt 2 or is it 3

so to make up for my lack of blogging as of late i am going to add a new installment (if not more than one it depends on my attention span) of life is like...swinging on a swing...i remember as a kid growing up one of my all time favorite things to do (okay i still love to do it) was/is to swing on a swing.  maybe its my inner sense of adventure that is yearning to get out or maybe its something else.  who knows.

so back to the point.  swinging on a swing and how life is like it... so just like in life there are highs and lows...for me i loved going high on a swing the higher the better...just like with life when things are going good there is the natural "high". the highs represent for me the excitement, passion, worthwhile and simply those things that couldve taken time but well worth the end result.  i always hate the slowing down especially when it is an all of a sudden thing...this much like life can be a scary and even dangerous thing.  the coming down can lead to disappointment, doubt, lack of trusting something will happen.  when swinging just like in life the ups and downs can take work and effort...this work and effort at times is well worth it as it leads to good things in the end. likewise that same work and effort can lead to heartache, pain, disappointment, fear.  

the other way life is like swinging is that it is so much better when you are not alone.  life is so much better with others around and although swinging alone can be fun, it is more fun with others whether they are helping you out by giving you the extra push (both on the swing and in life!) or healthy competition of who can go higher. 

so the question is, is it worth the work and effort even if the outcome is not the expectation that will in the end lead to something that is disappointing?  my answer is yes since in life we have the choice to choose to make the most out of all situations good and bad and learn from that rather than be like eeyore who says "whats the bother".  life is what we make it...and i choose to make the most of it.  embrace the highs and learn from the lows.
