Be grateful that in this
amazing swirl of all the events in the universe that are happening right now,
you, in this very instant, have the privilege to choose. And in some ways it doesn’t matter
about any or all of the mistakes you have made, or even, remarkably, the
mistakes that have been done to you.
The tipping point is if you will be courageous enough to believe that
you can. In THIS moment you can
choose to be whatever kind of man or woman you want to be.
You are on a new page of
your book. The story doesn’t have
to continue in the same trail of the previous pages. Sometimes we are so in the flow of the story we are in that
we forget there is a wider picture available.
We do have a choice. We can choose how to respond to the
situations around us and determine our actions, and anything we want of that
nature is possible. We will not do
it perfectly, but when we mess up, when we hurt someone and regret it, an “I
was wrong” or “I am so sorry” are words that are in the pocket of every human
being where we can reach for them, pull them out, and speak them.
And mean them.
Please choose carefully
who you want to be. Be honest with
yourself. Be truthful with others.
Be humble. Be understanding of the
battles that others face, but also expectant enough to know that more good can
happen in the world and that you can influence it.
Always be ready to learn
more—it is one of the most precious and overlooked gifts, and to be willing to
plumb deeper into the workings of who you are and what causes you to move in
any “less than what is possible” kind of way. You being “you” doesn’t have to come with disqualifiers and
excuses. Being a human being comes
with dazzling options and rich possibilities. Most of us never get around to taking hold of them.
The will is so very
powerful. Decide. Then go and splash in the puddles of it
and twirl in that kind of life.
Joy and purpose await you.
