Choices. Our lives are made by the choices we choose to choose. We can choose to love or to hate, to forgive or to hold a grudge, to gain weight or lose it. We can choose to eat healthy or eat garbage, to drink coffee or tea, regular or diet, to make the bed or not.
All these choices that we make lead to our eventual state. I am reaping the seeds I have sown, whether good or bad. It’s a natural law. So if I sow into my running hobby, then of it I will reap strength and endurance. I will be able to run farther. If I sow into my relationships (good or bad), I will reap the benefits or consequences.
With this in mind, I was considering the things that I want out of life. What I want to do, what I want to accomplish, who I want to be.
My mentor said that I am already what I want to be, I just have to develop it. She said that the things that I love and am drawn to I already have inside myself, I just need to cultivate it. To dig deep inside myself, to love myself, to nurture myself.
And I agree with her. If I were to desire certain things without outlining a path, but just waiting for qualities or destinations to just fall into my lap, I am wrong.
Whether or not I want to acknowledge it, I’m already on a road, I’m already traveling. And it’s up to me which direction I travel.
With that being said–which way are you headed? Are you glad that you’re on the path you’ve chosen, or do you see a way onto another path? Are you confused about which direction you should be headed?
I encourage you to get quiet with yourself, become aware of yourself, be calm, collect your thoughts, and sit before God. Ask Him what path you should take, and desire His will for your life.
I know that without God, I am shackled in fear and past mistakes. Don’t allow your own limitations (or the opinions of others) to hold you back.
