DECISIONS

I have been thinking about my life a lot lately, my choices and how they have affected my past, present and future. I am a firm believer that even though there a millions of external factors in play, you alone have control of how you live your life. Every day is just a compilation of decisions that you make, one after another and sure some decisions are more swayed by external factors than other but each time it boils down to a choice that you make. In my past I have tried to blame others for my unhappiness, and refused to take responsibility for my life and the direction it was going, I hurt myself, and others with that mind set. Life has thrown many hurdles in my path, and it will continue to do so until the day I die, that's how it works, you reach a hurdle and try to jump, if you fail, you try again, and again and so on until the end. 

Today I want to make the choice to stop getting so discouraged each time I reach a new hurdle, to not allow the prospect of the jump (or failed jump) weigh me down but rather look at it as an opportunity. Some of the best things in my life and grown from what I thought were the darkest. Happiness is a choice, it's not only not allowing the negative things weigh on you, it is seeking help when you feel like you are drowning, it is finding the best in a bad situation but most of all it is persevering because you never know what is on the other side of that hurdle, it may be the best thing that will ever happen to you, all you have to do is to choose to keep going. And from now on, I choose to be happy.
