indecisive
Yes or No
Black or White
Now or Never
No gray area.
Just extremes.
Like a pendulum that passes through the middle quickly to one side only to be relentlessly pulled back to the opposite never finding rest at one or the other, or even the middle.
I just don't know....I think I'll continue to walk in the middle of the road.

Perspective
Remembering what's important...how much do you remember? Take this quiz:
No pen or paper required. You can do this one in your head:
Here’s the first set of questions:
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world today.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners. Too tough? Then name the ten gold-medal winners from the recent Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
3. Name the winners of the Miss America pageant for the past five years.
4. Name ten people who have won either the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize (Okay, just name five! How about three?)
5. Name the last decade’s World Series winners. Or if that’s too tough, name the most valuable players for the last five World Series games.
My guess is you didn’t too well. Despite their renown, fame, and achievements, well-known award lose their luster, and the memories of who won them quickly fade.
Now let’s try a second part of the quiz:
1. Name two teachers who made a difference in your life.
2. Name three friends who were there for you during a difficult time.
3. Name a mentor or two who believed in you and thought of you as someone worthwhile.
4. Name five people you enjoy spending and evening with just because they’re fun to be with and you admire them greatly.
5. Name three or four heroes, living or dead, whose lives have inspired and encouraged you.
How did you do that time? You probably got an “A.” The real difference makers in life are those significant others who have pulled up close.
