Making choices is something you do every waking hour. Your choices can be as simple as taking a shower, or making yourself something healthy to eat.
Some of your choices can be more difficult to make.
This morning my daughter was concerned because she had a demanding day ahead of her. If she made the choice to stay home because she feeling ill, she thought people who were depending on her to show up may think poorly of her.
As she continued to worry that her choice to stay home was not a good one, she found herself caught up in her negative thinking, and she began to feel worse.
Samuel Johnson said, “When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.”
If you choose to think negatively long enough you will definitely be miserable and that is certainly no way to live life fully.
Harriet Tubman stated, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
Your life becomes much more exciting when you reach for the stars!
There will always be risks to be taken. However, life becomes much the same when nothing ever changes.
More people should take a leap of faith to see if that pot of gold is actually waiting for them, at the end of the rainbow.
I am a firm believer that the journey you are traveling can be as sweet as you want, or as bitter and unflavored as you like.
As it is with just about everything in life, you have to be willing to take a chance on you. If you don’t, who will?
So your heart is telling you that you want to be a singer or a dancer? Well, then it is time to sing and to dance!
Stop wasting time. As you know, the commodity of time is precious. Time always seems to be in short supply.
Find your passion and go for it!
Ignore the naysayers and live your passion! Do something that you love.
Writing is my passion. And I bet, if you want to be an accomplished writer you can be one too. It is your choice and your life to experience it!
Sometimes when you least expect it, you recognize a gift that you already possess.
Not long ago, after years of writing as a journalist and then working as an English teacher, I realized that my passion was revealing to other writers how to live in their greatness.
When you discover the purpose you’re meant for, your passion becomes contagious.
