Life is a series of choices. One after another we decide what our lives will be like. From what we choose to do to who we ultimately become, every decision we make shapes our lives in incredible ways. We can even change the shape of our bodies to hold life and welcome a new being into the world. And once we hold that new life in our arms, our lives deepen in rich and extraordinary ways.
But life will throw us a curveball here and there. And within that lie opportunities to grow and change the trajectory of our lives for the better. We may not know what the future holds, but our actions today, tomorrow, and the next day set the stage for what those snapshots can look like. Each choice leads us down a path to the next, and the next.
So whether you are happy with your current life or not, take a step back and really look with clear eyes at where and who you are. Understand that this isn’t based on any one person in your life, just you. You chose to be here – not them. Remove the judgment and worry. Take away the fear and hesitation. Simply look at how your choices have led you to this present moment.
If you don’t like what you see, put the wheels in motion to change it. If you feel like you can’t change it for some reason, or the timing isn’t right to make a change, don’t get stuck in “poor me” or “I wish things could change.” Instead, accept that everything you have experienced, whether happy, painful, sad, or beautiful, has the potential to bring about something good in your life. Can you open yourself up to see it?
Your choices have led you to this moment. Follow your next steps to create the life you love.
