Choices, choices, choices. We make choices all day every day without even thinking about most of them. We decide what we are going to eat, what we are going to wear, what we are going to do to entertain ourselves. There are lots of choices to make.
We make choices concerning how we talk to and around others. We make choices concerning what we listen to and how we allow that to affect us. We make choices concerning how we will live our lives and what we will fight for and what isn't worth it. Yep, there are choices to make.
Today's word is just a thought that developed from something I read a while back. It is simply, "When something bad happens, you can either let it define you, destroy you, or motivate you."
Bad things are going to happen; no one is immune to it. No matter how hard you are trying, no matter how much you put forth the effort, no matter how hard you are trying to "live right", bad things are going to happen from time to time.
It really sucks when things go bad! However, when they do go bad, and they will, we have a choice to make. We can let those bad things define us - today is bad, every day is going to be bad. We can let those things destroy us - mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. Or, we can use those things to motivate us - Yes, today is bad but I am going to push hard for a better tomorrow.
Bad things will happen. Our reaction is our choice.
Be Blessed,
