Wrong Choice, Right Place
I was reading a quote this morning that inspired the opening to this reflection. "Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places".
Life is a manifestation of choices. We would like to think that most choices we make will lead us in the right direction. However, there are those times that we make decisions based on anger, adrenaline, or passion. Sometimes the thrill of victory is so strong that it overpowers our natural ability to decide and we end up doing something we later regret. BUT, what if even the outcomes we regret lead us to a place of healing and growth? Interesting concept I know but think about it. Sometimes the worst things we have done or the worst people we have encountered have taught us the greatest life lessons. Reflect on that for a few minutes and think about where you would be if that person or situation we thought was bad had never happened.
I see so many people, myself included at times, that walk through life as though we were born to die. The truth is we were born to live. Do not buy in to the age old adage that the only absolutes in life are death and taxes. Life is an absolute if you have a breath in your body. The problem as I see it is that we are taught to prepare for death instead of gain wisdom for life. We do not have to be saddled with wrong choices until the day we die. We are where we are right this minute. Whether it is the right place or wrong place in your mind is irrelevant. What matters is the wisdom you gained on the journey and the path you choose to take going forward.
Death is standing still doing nothing. Accept where you are because you are where you are. It is the right place at the right time to gain footing for the road ahead. It is time to start speaking positive affirmations to yourself. NEVER under any circumstance denigrate, martyr, or speak down to yourself ever again. The wrong choices have brought you to the right place.
It is time for a faith renewal, not just a faith in your spiritual belief, but a faith in you. It is time, right now, to affirm your existence and to claim your name. You are the miracle God placed on this earth to make a difference. STOP recalling the pains of the past and seek the rewards of tomorrow. Our victim mentality effects so many more than ourselves. The world, your family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances deserve to see the best and real you. Most of all you deserve to see and feel the real you.
Listen carefully please!
Do not allow people, religion, past experiences, family, friend, health, or wealth stop you from living life. We are not born to die, we are born to live. We were not created to suffer, we were created to enjoy life. It is time we stop using religion to hold people back. If you are a Christ believer please do your due diligence and read the Gospels slowly. You will not find the teachings most are being taught today. Jesus taught people to love, to forgive, to pick up and keep going. Page after page is filled with people that society had cast out yet Christ picked them up. Their wrong choices brought them to the right place and that place was LIFE.
This is a new day and a new you is awakening. You and I are at the right place. All of the wrong choices we made brought us right here and this is the right place to be. I am choosing right now to place more positives in my mind, I choose to smile and treat everyone with the respect they deserve. I choose to stop living as though I am dying and start living as though I am flying. I choose life because all my wrong choices have brought me to the right places.
peace to you
