Blues For Someone

There are days that make the sacrifices seem worthwhile. And there are the days where everything feels like a sacrifice. And then there are the sacrifices that you can’t figure out why you’re making.

A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it. What he meant was nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle you better decide how much you’re willing to lose.Too often going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right. And letting someone in means abandoning the walls you’ve spent a life time building. Of course the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don’t see coming.

When we don’t have time to come up with a strategy to pick a side or to measure the potential loss.
When that happens and the battle chooses us and not the other way round, that’s when the sacrifice can turn to out to be more than we can bear.

Desire

As reporters we know what we want...to become senior correspondents. And will do anything to get there... Suffer through killer interviews, endure 100-hour weeks, stand for hours on end press conferences. You name it we'll do it. The tough part though is reconciling this huge thing we want, to be Senior Correspondents, with everything else we want.
To often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can't have. Desire leaves us heartbroken; it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life.

But as tough as wanting something can be...the people who suffer the most are those who don't know what they want.
