My website is a reflection of "Life - Changing Decisions."
It is to inspire and empower people with positive guidelines through their challenges in life. We ought not to use them as a rationalization
to fearfully flee the power of overwhelming problems and the frustration of
insurmountable obstacles.
Our vision is one of the same to be contented and be happy in our lives. We need to be steadfast and challenge our problems face on. Sometimes, we need to make sacrifices for our fundamental rights and have our voices heard.
In our darkest moments, we feel isolated and lonely. We have tried to keep our head above water and not let others see, just how low we have felt. Our challenging times can be overwhelming and it can consume us. We all need to be motivated and inspired when our chips are down.
We know that some things happen for a reason, but often the reason is obscure
to us and hidden behind conflicting events. The problems that we face may not be of our own doing. Our everyday undertaking may bring stress and difficulties to us that are beyond our control. We try to be strong and resolute but the pivotal moment for us draws close. We have great courage and wisdom but sometimes, so much of this courage has been drained from us. So much of our wisdom has been called into question.
Hold On! We shall no longer be defeated. We shall meet every challenge with solutions to resolve, all the lingering issues that have held us back in the past. Personal strength comes from life's experiences.
Here's where "Life-Changing Decisions" comes in play.
How different would your life be today, if you had chosen a different path?
Our journey through life is full of risks. Every time we step outside our front door, we are faced with a myriad of possible things that could happen to us. Yet we step out boldly without any fear, as we accept these risks as part of life. Why then are we so often afraid to take risks, when it comes to mapping out our life path. Making any kind of decision is hard, even if you've done it before. I have never met anyone who found this easy.
In life, we need to find our own way and have confidence in ourselves. No one else can live our lives for us; neither can we live theirs for them. This does not seem to stop some people from trying.
We need to learn, grow and develop each and every day. We need to move forward in our lives in the attempt to do good, be true to ourselves and contribute to the world around us.
Some decisions affect others; well I should say that most decisions affect others in one way or another. Some decisions are for a life time, these are life changing decisions. Other decisions are daily and minor. We will call these learning decisions. Other decisions affect our character and we will call these moral decisions.
We have to come to our own conclusion about life, our own understanding of what is important for us, and how we intend to live our lives. When we have made a decision, we need to be confident that we are doing the right thing.
There are two things that most people spend a great deal of energy trying to avoid: pain and suffering. Just remember that pain and suffering are optional. In some instant we are afflicted by pain and suffering that is beyond our control.
Life is all about choices. Making a good choice helps sustain our good values. The choices we make in life reflect on our lives and others as well. You can change your life, by changing the choices you make. The quality of your life is a direct result of your choices.
Every waking moment, we are making choices. Some of the choices we make will have immediate impact. Make no mistake about it; the multitude of choices we make today will have an enormous impact on the purpose of our choices.
Happiness is a state of well-being in which we are free from fear, resentment, anger, hostility, or any form of suffering. So, if we refuse to live courageously and choose to live in fear, we are choosing to be unhappy. When we choose to not let go of our hurtful past, we are rejecting happiness for ourselves.
If we choose to live in awareness, we will realize that no matter how great our burden may be, there is always someone else with a far heavier load to carry. All we have to do is be grateful for what we have and who we are. All good things 'we are told must come to an end.' The truth is, they never really 'end.' One good situation simply paves the way for another, and without one we cannot experience the other.
Everyone owes it to themselves to find happiness. Make the best of each day. Life is very fragile. Our time on this earth is very precious.
Believe in yourself and accept who you are. That is the first step to success. Think positive and do everything with a positive attitude. You're more powerful than you realize. Take charge of your thoughts and change your beliefs. Direct your thoughts to what you want. You can accomplish anything you desire. When you go through tough circumstances and seeing every reason to quit, but you just won't that is strength. Believe in yourself and believe in your abilities.
Our lives are a series of defining moments, strung together by passing time. We seek for clarity. It is not the moment itself that define us, but how we choose to live it. When you make a change to be a better person, you are turning your life around. Be assertive of the decisions you make and stand by it.
When people don't live up to your expectations, it's not unusual to feel responsible for changing their behaviour, especially if they are close to you. You keep trying but when you don't succeed, you end up feeling like a failure. Remember that it's not your failure.
When you put yourself in the position of controlling the uncontrollable, you place a heavy burden on yourself. Not only do you feel weighted down, but you use up tremendous amount of energy in this pursuit. Instead channel your focus towards things that you can control, such as yourself. It's a much more peaceful and productive way to live.
All the decisions we have made throughout our lives have brought us to where we are today. That's powerful, when you think about it. In other words you manage your life by the decisions you make. If you allow others to make decisions for you, then you're giving them the key to your destiny.
You're responsible for your life and you need to be in the driver's seat, especially when it comes to the decisions that affect your future. So, look into yourself first. You may choose to look to others for guidance, but ultimately there is no one better than you to decide what's best for your life's journey. It is your life, so take charge and take control. Get the credit you deserve for all you do. Now is an excellent time to make some plans for the future. Stay grounded and on target with your goals. Make sure that you aren't thrown off course by other people's whims.
