Life, in general.

There comes a time in everyone's life, I think, when you look around at what you've done with what you've been given and you wonder if you've done the right thing. Or you look around and think, "Is this everything?" And sometimes, you figure out that your life is fine the way it is, that you are happy and satisfied. And sometimes, you realize that what you are doing is not at all what you are meant to be doing. And although that whatever-it-is might have served you well up until now, it is time to let it go.

I think everyone should re-evaluate their lives periodically. If your life is one constant "When I get around to it", then maybe something needs to change. If you are inspired by certain things but find yourself stuck in the "I wish I had time for this" mode, then maybe you need to give something up to get something in return. If you are stuck, get unstuck. If you are lost, find a map to get you where you want to go. If you yearn for something, try it out. If it's not for you but only an admiration, you'll know soon enough, and you won't be any worse off for trying.

And maybe the next time you look around at your life and ask yourself, "Is this everything?" The answer will be "YES." And you will be fine with that.
