There are many times in our lives where we reach certain stepping stones on the path of life, ones that shape us into who we are meant to be, ones that include temptations, loneliness, and whatever else life decides it wants to throw at us. The catch, though, is to allow ourselves to catch the pitch that life throws at us. We cannot run from loneliness, we cannot run from learning self-discipline, we cannot run from the future of that in which we are about to start building, and we cannot escape social pressure. We have the choices of running or facing these obstacles. But what will running away from them do for us? Introspection shows us that in life, we can use our God-given gifts as an outlet to bring self-happiness and use those God-given gifts to bring peace to our soul.
