Is this a fit? It is a relatively simple question, is this a fit? If it is, why not proceed? People tend to want to stay in their comfort zone and not take new risks. So many other variables sweep in and become like churning waters, and the view becomes obscured as to whether to proceed at all. I arrived over the holiday’s for a movie about an hour early. I was a bit drowsy anyway, from staying out for the New Year’s Eve celebrations. I did the 4 mile fun run at Central Park at midnight and enjoyed that and walked back through Times Square as confetti was still dropping and tourists from all over the world were enjoying the moment. It would be another brand new year, in maybe another era. So I sat in the theater figuring I would just sleep and wake up when the movie reviews came on. Surprisingly, the theatre put on screen music, with a series of new songs that in a sense are being advertised. I was the only one in the theatre at that point. As I was listening to the tunes, one of the songs really hit the spot for me. Then I was thinking, this song would have been a good fit for me even all the way back to high school or grammar school. It was a bit of a revelation. It was as simple as that, this song was a good fit for me, either then or now. The song wasn’t of course even in existence then. But taking the thought further, what else is simply a good fit and always could have been a good fit for you. You wouldn’t not listen to a song and let things get in the way of listening to a given song that you liked. But how often do we let other things, dictates of our own or others get in the way of what is simply a good fit. So many window dressings are applied to so many things, that unless we have so many reasons draped over what we might to do, we delay or just forget about that whole thing. I’m too this or too that to consider this anymore. Maybe it is worth it to simplify a bit, and start from the concept of whether this is a fit, rather than jumping ahead into all sorts of overwhelming reasons that may or may not have the ultimate support behind them You don’t have to have every act together on every front to enjoy a song that is a good fit for you. You don’t have to be that more advanced person, in finding a place you may or may not ever get too. What other things are there that we can all consider now, that might be a good fit for us now, even this year of 2008? It may be as simple as allowing yourself to enjoy a song, a song that is a good fit now, would have been a good fit back then and could yet be a good fit in the far off future.
