Dont miss the train!!

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I've blogged, so I hope that everyone has been ok since we last spoke. I wanted to share something interesting that happend to me this morning on my way in to work.

As many of you know, i live in Brooklyn, but i work in Midtown Manhattan. My rountine is typically the same everymorning. I take the F train to west 4th, and transfer to one of the express lines, which ever comes first. Either the D or B train.

For what ever reason this morning i guess i just was not on top of my game, because i got off the f train which is the local train, and i walked accross to get on the D train that had just pulled up, and opened its doors. I was trying to wait until everyone got off the train, so i stood back, so as not to be rude. (what can i say, im from california)

Im standing there waiting, and waiting for my chance to get on the train. everyone else is crowding their way into the train but im still waiting. I go to make my move to walk into the train and just before i could step my foot in, the door shut right in my face and pulled off!
I quickly tried to turn around and run back over to get on the f train but just as i got accross the platform the door was closing and that train pulled off as well. I couldnt believe it! I thought to myself, "Now how the hell did i miss both trains, when they were both right here?".
Pissed off with myself, i sat down, and started thinking to myself, you know what? Life is just like that isnt it? We could have everything going for us, and be headed in the right direction, but one small slip up, one small misstep, could cause us to miss out on everything that we had been working towards. I missed both trains that were right in front of me, because i didnt act quickly enough at an chance that was right in front of me. Dam! if only i had acted sooner. Pushed my way through, forced myself on board and not tried to be so polite i would be on my way.

Sometimes in life we have to make a decision, act on it quickly, and then follow through. if not then things will just pass us by. The older we get, the less our options become. Friends, dont let a good thing pass you by. When something good comes your way, recognize it, act on it, and stay the course. Dont waist time, thinking that something else or better is coming, cause it may not.

We are not stupid! We know when we have something wonderful! Accept your blessing, and take hold of it! Jump on board and see it through!

What a shame it would be, to look back and say, that we had something truly spectacular in our lives, but because of our inability to make a clear decision, Or because of fear, we let it pass us by. No matter what, Be it a realtionship, a job, starting our dream career, taking that dream vacation, doing something that you have always wanted to do, but were always too afraid too, now is the time! The train has pulled up and opened its doors to let you in. The question is, will you jump on board and take a chance? Or are you foolish enough to let it pass you by?

Dont miss the train kids!!
