No matter how hard
The task may seem
Don't give up our plans
Don't give up our dreams
It is difficult to stay focused on your plans and your dreams when you are inundated with requests for so many other things that you barely have time for. Well, let's be honest. It's not whether you have enough time for these things, it's more about what are you willing to part with in order to make those things happen. Things are only ever hard when you have no plan of attack. Things are only ever hard because you have to work with people who may work differently to you. Things are only ever hard when more time is required to navigate through a plan when there is no time or patience that permits. Surrounding yourself with people and individuals who know how much your plans and dreams are important - these are the people that you should continue to stay in contact with.
No broken bridges
Can turn us around
'Cause what we're searchin' for
Will soon be found
I have a bit of time to write this as I wait for a flight to Wellington that leaves Auckland in a few hours. It's probably when my thought processes are at its clearest - when I'm alone, surrounded by strangers and with a trusty cup of coffee in my hand. What broken bridges have you caused? When we are in relationships we should never let broken bridges stop us from moving forward together in the same direction. We can try to mend those bridges that threaten us to abandon our course. If we look closely at those broken bridges we can survey the extent of the damage and whether it is worth saving - for both of your sakes. If not, what is the solution? Build a bridge to reach someone else? We all know that rebound relationships never work because they never truly address the issues that you leave behind. Are you prepared to keep searching for what you are looking for?
'Cause we're almost there
Just one more step
'Cause we're almost there
Just one more step
Just one more step
Don't give up
'Cause we're all almost there
'Cause we're almost there
We can never be too sure of how close we are to unknown destinations until we suddenly arrive there. One person's almost - may be different from how someone else measures their almost. It reminds me of when you're a traveller in a foreign country and when the locals say that something is around the corner or just down the road - can mean the difference between metres and kilometre or miles. Who are we willing to take the one more step with? You might find yourself stepping with people who are secretly trying to sabotage you (sorry, that's the conspiracy theorist in me coming out lol) or are not fully committed to your cause. What can we do to ensure that we never give up? What should we be doing to ensure that everything that we have ever valued and considered important to take forward in our journey - will actually be there?
Look at the lovers
Look at the lonely lovers
That didn't make it
Life's long hard climb
Life's long hard climb
They just couldn't take it
They just couldn't take it
Perseverance and determination to make things work can only happen if both parties are willing to put in the hard yards. Have you ever come across people who are breaking up or in the process of breaking up? Have you come across people who are in tears and don't know how to move on with their life because all they see is the pieces of it crumbling around them? I have seen friends go through some really traumatic experiences and some chose to stick it out and stand by their partners, others chose to gather all the strength they could muster and just move out and move on. What things aren't you prepared to take? We shouldn't be thinking too much about life being a long hard climb. Take note of the places to rest while on that climb. We need to shift how we think and feel about people and situations. Don't blame the slip of your grip on someone else's lip. You reacted to what they said and stopped paying attention to your own sanity level in that circus you were fooled into joining. Now you want out. Can you even see the door?
Don't let it happen to me and you
Hold on together, darlin'
We'll make it through
You should have been in enough relationships to know that when you are in a tenuous space where things aren't as tight as they should be, then the pleading starts. When people don't want things to happen to their bubble of a relationship, they inevitably start slipping up too by relinquishing their hold. I guess all you need to do is get better at getting to know people and learning about what needs to happen in your life. Well, maybe not what needs to happen in your life, because you have to allow for chance or for changes to occur in order for things to happen. But I guess we need to be more circumspect and aware of our feelings and how we convey them to people. Find people to hold onto or find people to hold onto - together. Is it really hard to sustain a connection, even if there is a glimmer of hope?
Don't let it happen to me and you
Hold on together, darlin'
I hope that what you decide to hold onto - people or things - becomes much clearer in your mind once you have weighed up all of the options that apply to you. I don't think we think enough about the pros and cons of what really works for us, who really aligns with where we want to be heading in life. It might be because it's a difficult decision to make each time you hit a wall and you wonder how much longer you will need to go through all of the different learning in the life lessons without feeling too bogged down and negative about it all. What things are you hoping that won't happen to you and those you love? We can only control as much of what we can because of what we choose to work towards, because of what we choose to put out there in the universe. We just need to remember that it doesn't matter how long it takes, time is not a factor, we just need to know that we must be consistent and persevere, to be resilient when we need to be and sure enough we'll all soon see, that we're almost there. . .
