They Affect Our Lives

 Believe me, I've made some bad choices in my life. But I believe with all my heart that mistakes can be fixed, wrongs can be righted, and life is what you make it. Whether you jumped into something without fully thinking it through, or you waited too long to change something that you knew deep down wasn't right. Life has a way of throwing curve balls and its important to know when to swing and when to stay put.

But how do you distinguish between opportunities that are worth pursuing and others that are worth passing on? I think deep down we all know what we want out of life. Is any amount of money worth being miserable over? Should any relationship equate to a life of compromise and mediocraty? Internally, we all know whats right and whats wrong for each of us and no one should have to compromise for others to be get what they want.

Now I understand, there are situations that are tricky to get out of. But I also understand that its normal for people to put you down in order to get what they want out of us.

I've heard the scenerio time and time again, acting like we lucky to be where we are. Like theres nothing else out there, and this is it for us. Heres the thing, the reason people make those kind of statement is so that they can keep taking advantage of us. If something doesn't feel right day after day, its most likely because its not.

People say things to themselves to push them through day in, day out. This "put in your dues" attitude is what these leeches want you to think. Sure, with hard work comes reward but in a lot of circumstances you are just a tool being used. And what happens to used tools? They get replaced.

If something doesn't feel right, Its because it not. We will all know what is right for us and what is wrong. Embrace change, follow your heart and always move forward. Everyday take steps in the right direction, because the time will never be perfect. You will always make excuses with yourself. Take the plunge towards your goals. Because at the end of it all, wouldnt you like to look back on things and be happy. Take a page out of Frank Sinatras song and "Do it yout way" You'll be happy you did.
