It is weeks like the week that I have just lived, that propel me forward in life.
Challenges force me to confront issues. One always has a choice in life. Do I choose to do nothing and expect nothing to change? Do I have any control over any aspect of this situation? Is there any way that a compromise can be made? Do I have the courage to make a change?
Sometimes the only control a person has, is how they react to the situation. I'm afraid that I have failed miserably in that regard this past week.
I have felt too much coming at me from too many different angles. My work, my mom's health, I have allowed 'the past' into my present (and it doesn't belong there!!), finances, education and trying to fit too much into my week.
I cracked. Unfortunately ... there were witnesses.
Today is a new day and (as soon as I get home from my class this afternoon), I am going to sit down and write out an action plan.
It's time to make some changes. Or compromises. Because if I sit here and do nothing ... nothing will change.
It is time.

I've been thinking similar thoughts myself...most of my life is pretty great, but yeah, some changes need to occur.
ReplyDeleteJ,
ReplyDeleteChange is inevitable in life ... but I find it a little easier to deal with when I'm the one initiating it. Still tough though. It is 8 days since I wrote this post and I haven't acted on the one thing that is plaguing me the most. I think I must be waiting for a 'crisis point'. I just about met it today.
Best of luck to you in your quest to make some changes! May you redirect your life in a new direction - one of your choosing!
