IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU.


I tell you being an adult is a lot of hard work, you have to think, rethink, counter-think every decision that you make, cause you never know when disaster will or might strike next. It is said that a wise man makes his own decisions but an ignorant man follows the opinion of the public.

We have a choice about what happens to us in our life & whether or not we let it to turn us. At times we can allow ourselves to be consumed by hate & darkness or we can decide to regain our humanity somehow & come to terms with things learning about ourselves. 
"The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross & which to burn".
Too often in life, something happens & we blame other people for the lack of being happy, satisfied or fulfilled. This is the point am putting across to you, we all have choices & we make the choice to accept people or situations or yield to the demise of our indecisiveness.

I have not lived a perfect life. I have regrets, but that is from a lifetime of taking chances, making decisions & trying not to be stagnated in particular place in my life. The only thing that I could do with my regrets was to try & understand them.
"Do not plant your dreams in the field of indecision, where nothing ever grows but the weeds of 'what if".
I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we are supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of happiness, what will make you a good citizen, a good wife, daughter, husband or son.

Sometimes in order to follow our moral compass & our hearts, we have to make unpopular decisions or stand up for what we believe in. It can be difficult & even frightening to go against the grain, whether it is a personal disagreement with a friend, a partner or a family member or a professional decisions that affects others.

Our fate is determined by how far we are prepared to push ourselves to stay alive. The decisions we make to survive. We must do whatever it takes to endure & make it through alive.
