What is really the most important thing?

When you are on the verge of something, you reflect on how and why you got where you currently are.  This is where I am right now.  While the past is there and the future is ahead of you, the present is where you need to live.  It’s weird to think that at what point you were one of the key components to something, and now this something continues on stronger together.  Did you build it, or did it build around you?

I think a lot of what happens is we make choices and we depend on what was there before we got there.  Then all of the sudden what we had was gone, and questions and doubts arise.  I guess the real defining factor is if you are still standing after everything around you has been knocked down.

We can rebuild, overcome, and conquer, but it all comes back to the foundation that was formed long before we were a part of something.  When life is a relay, you have to make sure you are both running and reaching for the baton, because if you aren’t doing both you are losing ground.
