Life is full of choices whether we believe it or not.  So often, I hear the comment "I didn't have a choice."  In reality, this is not true.  Everything we do or don't do is a choice.

   

Choices may not be easy.  The options may not be pleasant but there are always options, good or bad, happy or unhappy. Doing nothing is a choice.  We are where we are and who we are because of the little choices we make each day.

Let's not dwell on some of the choices we have made in the past that we may not be proud of. Instead, consider them learning experiences.  What is past is past.  The future lies ahead of us.

   

This morning, each of us is starting a new week.  We have a choice to make.  Where do we want to take our lives and what choices do we need to make, right now to take it in that direction.  Is it doing what we have always done, doing what is comfortable or is it making a choice to follow the possible scary previously uncharted path in a new direction.

To me, it is far better to make the choice to give it my best shot rather than sitting back and sadly dreaming about what could have been.
