Decisions

text

Life altering decisions that cannot be made lightly are perplexing. Do I change things and shake my life up or keep plodding down this unfamiliar downtrodden road that leads to nowhere? 

Many people will stay the course just so they will not have to make a decision. Straight and narrow, do not upset the apple cart. What fun is that? We only live once, it’s heartbreakingly sad to do so if you aren’t happy.

Will a change make you happy? Perhaps, if it’s the right change. Sometimes it is better not to contemplate too hard. Just jump in with both feet and make things happen. 

Staying somewhere where you aren’t happy doesn’t bode well for your well-being. When leaving at the end of the night is the best part of your day something needs to change. 

A Drawing Board

Back to the drawing board. Once again seeking something that for right now is out of your reach. When you find that elusive something you will know it deep in your heart. It will feel right. There won’t be any second guessing, no wondering if you did the right thing. A calmness will enter your body. Peace throughout. Everyone knows when connections are made. When something you did feels like perfection. There is no sitting around wondering if you’ve made the correct choice. Zen, it’s the only word I know to describe it. Colors are vibrant, the sun feels warmer, there is no feeling of something being out of whack or off kilter. The axis is whirling, you are free of constrictions. There isn’t a cloud hanging over your head. It doesn’t feel like doomsday is right around the corner.

Yes Books

You can wake up and immediately feel a peace that wasn’t there before. Fixing one problem may lead to another. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen this time. Find something that will make you want to wake up in the morning and start your day. For me it’s the library. Working there relaxes me. The atmosphere is so calm and cool. Helping people is fun. There is no rat race, no confusion, no bad energy. There is a hopefulness, a positive energy vibe. Just being in the library brings about a calmness that is centering and envelopes my entire body. Books everywhere you look. Who can help but be happy when you are looking at books?

Wrong Path

Life is too short to be going down the wrong path. Wrong paths lead to nowhere. Turn yourself around, look into the future and make a choice. Choose yourself. Choose your happiness. Do not think about letting anyone down, this is the one chance you get. Life isn’t going to wait for you. You have to seek it out, find it. Grab it and hang on. Do not let others detour you with their oppressed faces. They must seek their own happiness. You are responsible for no one but yourself. Don’t put anyone else’s life on your shoulders. Shirk it off, make it disappear. A new moon is on the horizon. A new day looms before you. Make it special, make it count. Don’t lose it before it even begins. 

This is you; this is your time. Indulge and pamper.

Be you.
