Choices
Throughout the course of our lives, we make countless choices. Some are made with clarity and conviction while others are made sadly out of fear, ignorance or indolence.
Most choices are of little consequence such as what to wear, what movie to see, or what to prepare for dinner. Some choices however, represent pivotal moments in time; and for better or worse, they will alter the course of our lives going forward.
Choices are powerful agents of change, and the architects that shape our destiny. Changing the course of your life for the better is simply an act of your unfettered imagination where the opportunities for change are as limitless as the choices you are free to make.
You can choose to move past your failures or disappointments and to seek solutions rather than seek refuge.
You can choose to be courageous, to take charge and to settle never, for less than your heart?s desire. You can choose to deny or face up to the truth. You can choose to practice gratitude and relinquish resentment; You can choose to forgo self-centeredness and to act out of love rather than blatant self-interest. You can choose to be kind and patient, with yourself, as well as with others.
You can choose forgiveness.
You can choose to be the bearer of glad tidings or the crier of bad news. You can choose to move past loneliness, loss & despair and to wear a smile though no one is there. You can choose to stay the course when you want to give up and to see not half-empty, but half full, the proverbial cup.
You can choose to be diligent, and to exemplify integrity and excellence in all that you do and say, But most of all, you can choose to believe, that whatever the odds, you can change the course of your life, beginning this very day. The choice is yours.
