The real quote is the following: “You live life forward, but
understand it backwards.” Which is another version of the classic quote:
“Hindsight is always 20/20.”
I am reminded of this today, a Wednesday. I am just now
returning from Kenya, after a fantastic, relaxing trip. I am back in Kigali,
preparing for the bus trip home to Butare. I am already back in it: motos not
showing up, no butter to be found in any supermarkets, catching up on emails.
And as I go, I learn and understand better each day about my life. I have learned all of the
information on slowing down, not rushing, not wanting things my way, not having
expectations, but truly understanding it and incorporating it into my everyday
life, now that is the real struggle, n’est pas?
I have heard it said that we should strive for progress, not
perfection. And this applies here as well. We are not perfect, we are human
beings; we are supposed to makes mistakes. If we work on our shortcomings, and
show progress towards improvement, that is the most important.
Until next time…
Love life, Find meaning, Be happy,
Craiger
