While I'm certainly not picking on Tyler's post, I think I've really started to understand that the ability to "just be" is a skill that's really hard to come by.
When you're younger, you're eager to do all of the things that "grown ups" do. You want to live the American dream so to speak, and have it all figured out. That in itself is a good thing, because without that drive and curiosity, well, we call that living on public assistance. 
What they never tell us, and they tell us a lot of things, is that life isn't simply going to college, figuring out something clever to do for the rest of your life, getting married, buying a house and having kids. Most people want those things, and most people do attain them, but it assumes that the world will conform to that vision. It almost never does.
I remember thinking in college that the people who graduated in front of me who didn't stay in the broadcast business were washouts. I used to think they just couldn't cut it. What I know now is that many of them simply didn't enjoy the business, or found more fulfilling or lucrative work doing other things. The problem is that you can't possibly know that until the opportunities have appeared in front of you.
Relationships are a lot like that too. I thought Denise, the girl upstairs my freshman year, would be my future wife. I just feel like a moron over that. I couldn't get over the programming at all. Then I met Stephanie and figured, hey, there are other people out there for me, but this is the one. That one took even longer to figure out, and I never considered that it's even more crazy variable when it involves another person.
In the long run, things have worked out pretty well. I don't feel like I've wasted any time with all of the direction changes since I graduated high school. What I find so staggering is how I couldn't have anticipated any of it. I mean, my imagination wasn't even remotely vivid enough to think up my current state.
And when do you "get there?" You can climb the career ladder, raise a family, achieve all measures of success, but what then? Will you miss anything while trying to achieve the things you think you want? Is it OK to change what you want?
I think it was just this year that I figured out how to just be, without getting wrapped up in looking for a destination. I still suck at it (see endless rants about working for myself, finishing sites, etc.), but at least I have the awareness now. There is love, excitement, opportunity and life all around me, right now. If I think back, there always has been. While being mindful of the future and my goals, I find myself at my happiest when I can just enjoy the moment.
