I had a discussion this morning about a post I saw on Facebook and the post said “Who’s strapped in the rollercoaster of life?” I had to respond to it and my response was “NOT ME”.. I feel that we have choices to make and I keep my life on an even playing field an even keel if you will.
Is our happiness not a choice that “WE” make? Is it a choice on how “WE” perceive the “UPS” and “DOWNS” of life and how “WE” let them affect us? I believe “WE” are the ultimate decision maker on “what” affects us and “how”we let it affect us. For me, life is a straight line, a line that I walk on daily. When a situation come at me, be it good or bad, I must look past the bad and see myself on the other side of it, thus seeking the solution instead of living in the problem, or when victories are plentiful, never take them for granted and not live in them either. I need to live a life of balance, never living above that line or below it. I have lived a life full of disappointments and the way I allowed them to affect me, was ghastly to say the least.
The definition of choice is, “an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities.” When you are faced with a choice of choosing something that will directly affect your life, choose happiness over sadness, peace when there is strife or division in your life, or serenity when anger is knocking at your door. Life is precious and fragile and should always be handled with care!!!!!!!
Please enjoy your day!!!!!!!
