The Unideal Path

Written by a human, for humans, always.

What do you want to accomplish in life?

Where do you want to go?

What are you hoping to achieve?

What is the path you want to take?

These are the types of questions that most people ask when it comes to what they want out of life.

We are so often caught up in what we want the path forward to become.

Often, this becomes defined in two ways for most people...

One is to look at the path...

And wait for ideal conditions.

The other...

Is taking a path...

And hoping that the ideal will be attained.

What most people discover...

Is that either approach fails to provide what they hoped to gain.

Waiting for the ideal conditions causes people to wait forever...

Never beginning a path that they hoped for.

Moving forward hoping that the ideal will be attained ends differently...

With frustration, anger, and heartbreak.

The problem...

Is that in reality...

Ideals never play out.

They are nice to consider in our brains...

But life is never that simple.

When we wait for an ideal...

Circumstances never align.

They cannot.

Everything is constantly changing in different ways...

Some are positive...

Others are negative...

Some lean in one direction...

Others in a different.

But the ideal is never revealed, and this becomes a barrier for people to get started.

When we move forward hoping the ideal is found...

We discover that the ideal always seems out of reach...

People fail to understand what we are moving toward...

Others purposefully undermine us...

Some people appear to be with us and disappear...

Then we discover that our ideals do not seem to match others' ideals.

We could live our own life perfectly to our ideal...

And we either would fail to feel like it was enough...

That we were reaching for an impossible goal...

Or that either we or others failed to comprehend the truth behind everything.

Without fail...

We discover that life...

Is Unideal.

So...

What are we to do?

The truth...

Is that there really is only one thing to do...

Take the unideal path...

No matter where we go...

Who it is with...

What we strive for...

Or whether others understand or not.

The truth is...

Life will always have a mix of these things, no matter how we approach life.

We could take any path that exists...

We could be as perfect as is humanly possible...

We could hold any beliefs and values...

We could strive for any honorable or dishonorable thing...

For any good or bad reason...

And the result...

Would always be unideal.

That is the reality that we must face.

No matter what we do or do not do in life...

It will be unideal.

Many people may find this message to be sorrowful...

Or...

You may approach it a different way...

With it being liberating.

See...

So many people try to approach life "as if" the ideal will be attained or found...

And everywhere they turn...

They discover themselves wanting.

The ideal is never there.

But...

If we come at life from another direction...

Striving for the ideals that we believe in...

But knowing that life will never truly be ideal as we define it...

And accounting for that along the way...

We can actually discover that there is much more we can do in life than we imagined.

We will all fail in attaining our ideals...

And that is normal.

We will never reach our ideals...

And that is alright.

We will never get everyone to see our way...

And that is to be expected.

When the ideal is not reached...

It is not the end of the world...

Just an expected consequence of a world that is beyond what any of us can fully grasp.

At the same time...

Not attaining that ideal...

Does not make moving toward something a bad thing.

If anything...

It makes it a more courageous action.

Moving forward along the unideal path...

Knowing that we will never attain the ideals we hope for...

Yet taking action anyway...

Takes a lot of courage in life.

So do not be afraid of the unideal path...

Embrace it.
