Starting the Path

I am so happy that I am finally taking the major steps that I need to become the person I want to be. I'm not completely sure who that is yet; I'm still working out the details. Actually, I only have a vague idea of who I want to be. I have a good idea of who I am; that will have to suffice for now. One of my biggest struggles is living in the present. If I could only let go of the straining baggage, I would be free. It's funny because I am free to make all of these choices, the hard part is doing them. Why doesn't faith seem to be enough? Maybe because I don't have enough of it. I've understood all of the issues for years. Putting it into practice is much harder than I thought it would be. On the other hand, my brightest days are ahead of me. That's true for all of us if we make that choice. It's up to us.
