wasting potential

i've been somewhat wallowing in these thoughts recently...

am i making the most of the life i've been blessed with?
what will i wish i had done?
what will i be sorry i did?

i can't help but feeling like i'm wasting my potential.
i feel entirely useless.

is it such a long shot for each of us to accomplish something incredible once in our lives?
is it so bad to want to be remembered for something extraordinary?

is this all there is?

  1. At only 23 without that many 'huge' mistakes to speak of, right now I frequently think that I'm more afraid that I'll look back and say "Why didn't I take that opportunity? Why did I play it safe?" But at the same time, my 'professional' life is such a mess. My life by 'normal' standards is not maturing at the 'average rate'...aka: no house, job, etc...I'm on the fence a lot about the choices I make.
    HOWEVER, you pray and pray and pray, and make one small decision at a time, and hope that its taking you in God's path.

    You're FAR from useless. You've already done amazing things, changed lives, and done work that God has asked you to do. Just ask God for opportunities. You don't have to be specific- he'll fill you in as you go.

    I love you a TON.
