I Make My Life What It Is

Sometimes I have to say out loud, “I make my life what it is!” I choose to get up or sleep in. I choose to be on time or not. I choose to make an excuse or not care what another thinks about something I have or haven’t done.

I choose to plan my next move or just drift. I choose to rush because I’ve wasted so much time in the past and now I feel behind schedule, or accept that I am right where I’m supposed to be given my choices, but I don’t have to be behind schedule this time next week, next month, or next year.

I can choose to see my life however I choose to, including taking on another person’s point of view, which looks clearer than mind until my own vision drives me toward whatever clearer vision allows me to see. I can choose to accept that every other person on the planet either reaps a benefit or misses one because of my positive contribution to life itself, or lack thereof.

I stand on this knowing that, whatever it takes, whatever must be overcome, I will give to this life what is requested of me. Faithful stewardship in the execution of the gifts placed in me. To do what I was placed here to do is my only real mission. Live well, love deeply, learn continually and leave a legacy.

The question is what will you do? Contribute or consume? Give or take? Uplift or diminish? Win or go home empty? I make my life what it is!

Just my thoughts.
