I Choose..........
I Choose……..
Life is filled with many decisions and choices. As a person who is very analytical in their thinking, I maul over information again and again so as not to make a bad decision and sometimes I end up doing just that.
There are some choices I made in life that due to circumstances I was forced to make. Like having to take a job I really don’t want to take just to make ends meet or buying a car that really wasn’t what I wanted but it was in my price range, how about wearing that bridesmaid dress when I knew I looked a good hot mess in it, or tolerating someone I don’t really like to appease the friend that’s in the middle.
Yeah, those kinds of decisions tend to have ones back up against a wall and sometimes you don’t have a choice because it is what it is and you have to do what you have to do.
I have made some bad choices in life, some of which I’m still paying for right now but as I look back into years of good/bad decision making and look forward into 2009 I can say I’ve learned some things. I have learned that some decisions in life are totally in our hands to make. I‘ve learned that we make our decisions not other people and we need to be mature enough to deal with the rewards or consequences that come with our decisions. I’ve learned that even if I do make a bad decision I can’t let it keep me down. I have to pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again. Sometimes it’s not easy but it is doable and you can do it.
There are some things you cannot choose, like family, your genes, your DNA, your skin color, yah-yah-yah but there are some decisions I choose to make starting right now.
I CHOOSE…………
To be HAPPY within; it’s a principle what goes in MUST come out
To live life to the fullest and not take for granted the smaller gifts of God
To apologize when I am wrong and forgive those who have wronged me
To open up my heart to Love more even if there is a possibility I might get hurt
To get over lost opportunities and learn from my mistakes so I don’t miss anymore
To Love, Cherish and Honor Family because before God instituted anything He instituted the Family
To Laugh more, because Laughter is contagious and it’s something I don’t mind catching
To be successful, because the Bible declares ‘As a Man Thinketh in His Heart So Is He’
To plant better seeds, because the Bible declares ‘You Reap What You Sow’
To cry more, because crying it’s very therapeutic and is the best stress reliever
To give more hugs, because what is done in silence speaks volumes and touches the heart
To Pray more, because its some thing we all need but some are too proud to ask for and it really does change things and people as well.
To cherish the happy times and look forward to creating more of them
To thank God for the trying times because they refine me and makes me stronger
To be at Peace with myself and God before trying to make Peace with others
To be Empower and Be Empowered, because no one can ever take it from me
To Achieve, because I was born with a Great Destiny and when I die I must die empty of what was placed inside of me
To Sing out loud and sing out strong with a voice of triumph; to vocally tear down walls
To chose my battles wisely and avoid those battles that need not be fought
To bloom where I am planted so that one day I’m be a garden and not just a flower
To dance like I’m the best in the world, even if I have no rhythm
These are choices that I have made in my life and although you may be different from me, we all have to face making these same decisions some time in life. We all have different seasons in our lives but when the season comes for you to make some life altering decisions, what will YOU choose????!!!!!!
