Acad Mode: Setting New Directions

These past few months, nay even years, I find myself not as driven as I hoped to be. It really feels nice to be driven in pursuit of a bigger goal. Anyway, I find that this needs to be changed if I want to take further challenges. What's good for today, I have chiseled a major block. I have renewed my commitment for new directions.

I cannot say I am religious. But if I were to ask GOD today why I had to pass the dark valleys of failure these past few years, perhaps he may answer in ways I do not expect. The years, if I think about them, did not come to waste.

Anyway, more of that sentimental stuff later. I also want to share a poem I found last year that best describes my attitude right now.

New Directions by Doris Warshay

I want to travel as far as I can go,
I want to reach the joy that's in my soul,
And change the limitations that I know,
And feel my mind and spirit grow;
I want to live, exist, "to be",
And hear the truths inside of me.
