Choices

This is a topic that I am very passionate about because it's how our lives take shape, through our choices.  Take care with the choices you make, for they shall follow you all your life.  This is the lesson every human being should get as soon as possible.  The younger you are when you realize this, the better prepared you can get yourself to deal with life and make the best possible choices you can make.  Many people live a lifetime and do not get the lesson.  We are creatures of habits and no matter how many times we see that something is just not working, we will make that same choice over and over again and wonder why we keep getting the same results!!!!
Over the course of my life, I have met some really interesting people.  The people that have dumbfounded me the most are the ones who do REALLY DUMB THINGS and wonder why their lives are a mess!!!! Some of us live our lives in a blind spot and think that we are clever.  Most people sleepwalk through life, keep their heads down and try to just make it the best they can everyday.  Well to that I say, WAKE UP!!!!  You can do more than sleepwalk through life, you can succeed and live a full life.  A life of vitality, hope aspirations and dreams.  This life will stem from the choices you make.  We tell ourselves, it's too late when we realize we have made bad choices that have resulted in a lot of wasted time doing the wrong things.  I say as long as you're alive and breathing, IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!!!!  This is something you must believe  for yourself and own!!!
Your life of fulfillment begins with making a choice to have one, then taking action to create this life.  I have made so many mistakes in my life trying to find the path that will work for me.  I will continue to tread my way until such is the day that God calls me home.  Until then, the world is here for my exploration and I plan to explore it until I find the way for me.  One of the most important things you can do is choose to remove all negative and needy people from your life.  Make the decision that they are not necessary on your journey, wish them well and move on!!!!  They will drain and suck all the life out of you if you don't cut off their access to you.  It's hard sometimes because these people could be family and loved ones, but in the end what really matters is that you have the right to be at peace and pursue your dreams.  People who stay stuck in bad choices want company.  They want to spread and share the misery and infect those who aren't with their misery.
Get over all the dumb stuff you did in your youth.  IT'S OVER, MOVE ON!!!!  Get over all the stuff you should have done in your youth, but didn't and do what you can now.  Return to school, renew a passion, take a vacation, open a business, have children, get married, in other words whatever it is you think you missed out on that would be a goal for you today, go after it!!! You will discover along the way all the things you will truly need to know about yourself to succeed or not.  At least you can change direction and do what will work for you.  Let go of all your regrets, sorrow, pain and hurt from the past choices you made.  Leave revenge, envy, jealousy, resentment and guilt in the past along with your mistakes and bad choices.  CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT THEM!!!!!!!!
