Life is About Choices

As I see life there are always choices.  The question before each of us is do I have the courage or the will to make them?  When I was younger there was a tremendous pressure to be part of the group.  If you weren’t you were outcast and left on your own to develop the confidence necessary to move on.  Far too many did not make good choices and turned to others for that support.  They rationalize to themselves they had no choice.  Once you give up the right to choose you give up control of your life.  

As adults there are similar pressures to give into the popular positions of the day.  This again is rationalized in a number of ways.  We can say we have to fit in, or everyone agrees so it must be right, or someone made me this way.  When you choose to be petty and vindictive and say it is because others have made you that way, you are only kidding yourself.  You are that way because you choose to be.  Is that really a choice you’re happy with?

Choose wisely.
