Do you have a word that has inspired you to do better in your personal life. I have had many experiences with this word "CHOICE". It has stongly changed my life and has a lot of personal meaning in my own life recently. I've had to realize that I can't make these choices for people, they have made their own choice and if they are okay with their choice I should also be okay with what they are doing. I am not in control of everyone, I am only in charge of myself. Yes, I have a family that I care for and that I try to make good choices for them. Sometimes I have a very hard time making choices that will effect them personally. I don't want to be responsible for anything that I made a bad or wrong choice for them. I am not a perfectionist nor really try to be; I just want to make correct choices that will affect myself and my family for the better. I know that this simple word has made an impact on me and how I look at life.
I can CHOOSE:
being nice or mean, doing laundry, being lazy, saying prayers, scripture study, exercise (which i shouldn't have a choice) cooking dinner, attending meetings, being involved, spending money, grocery shopping, cleaning, eating healthy, saving, reading & helping my children with school projects, ETC...
I know that "choosing" is so simple and most of us have mastered this skill. What I have learned or trying to learn is that I don't have to follow trends, and I can't force anyone to change something that they have done for years. We will all have our own free will and how we choose to live our lives, it is not up to me it is up to someone who I have a lot of faith in.
