The path we choose

IMG_3676

Life is a series of choices that we make.

Often we allow others to control or influence that choice, but when that happens, rarely does it go well. We feel that we are trapped or forced and that makes us unhappy.

It takes time to find the right path that will work for us and it does not matter which one you choose. However, we need to be the ones making that choice and doing it because it fits with our values, our why and what matters to us.

If you have chosen a path that is not inspiring you to jump out of bed in the morning, or if it is not making you happy, then the good news about life is we can always change the path.

Sometimes it just needs a slight change in direction and other times a big bold change. No matter how much of a change it is, the sooner you start down another path, the better.

We all have our own unique pathways in life, we are here to make a difference in some way and the right path will lead to a happy and fulfilling life. Taking that path will often require being brave and willing to be vulnerable.

Sometimes in life, it rains

It is not possible to only have sunny days, sometimes in life, it rains. Sometimes it is torrential and goes on for hours or even days.

Life is like the weather, there are good and bad days.

We need both the sun and the rain in life, without them, there would be no life. The darker moments and rainy days in our lives serve a purpose too.

They help us appreciate the good things in life more, they help us learn and how we deal with them is a choice.

We can choose to allow the rainy days to bring us down, we can choose to ignore the fact that the sun always returns and we can choose to allow them to influence how we see ourselves and the situation.

Naturally, we can choose the opposite, so we decide what to make to them no one else.

Whatever it is in life, it is never as bad as we programme ourselves to think and it passes.

Cherish the sunny days and let go of the rainy ones.
